In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …

The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil
fungi. ie dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi …

Phylogenomic studies using genome-scale amounts of data have greatly improved
understanding of the tree of life. Despite the diversity, ecological significance, and …

High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data. Evolutionary
ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Zygomycetes are phylogenetically early diverging, ecologically diverse, industrially
valuable, agriculturally beneficial, and clinically pathogenic fungi. Although new phyla and …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …
