Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the
immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a …

Fungi are eukaryotes that play essential roles in ecosystems. Among fungi, Basidiomycota is
one of the major phyla with more than 40,000 described species. We review species …

The R package 'diversitree'contains a number of classical and contemporary comparative
phylogenetic methods. Key included methods are BiSSE (binary state speciation and …

The distribution of diversity can vary considerably from clade to clade. Attempts to
understand these patterns often employ state-dependent speciation and extinction models …

Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla in the fungal tree of life. The outline of
Basidiomycota provides essential taxonomic information for researchers and workers in …

Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) have the greatest morphological diversity and
complexity of any group of fungi. They have radiated into most niches and fulfil diverse roles …

With∼ 36,000 described species, Agaricomycetes are among the most successful groups of
Fungi. Agaricomycetes display great diversity in fruiting body forms and nutritional modes …

Mushrooms in the basidiomycete family Boletaceae are ecologically and economically very
important. However, due to the morphological complexity and the limited phylogenetic …

Abstract Agaricomycetes includes ca. 21,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi
that function as decayers, pathogens, and mutualists in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats …

Background There has been a considerable increase in studies investigating rates of
diversification and character evolution, with one of the promising techniques being the …
