Truffles: much more than a prized and local fungal delicacy
Truffles are hypogeous fungi which live in symbiosis with plant host roots in order to
accomplish their life cycle. Some species, such as Tuber magnatum Pico, the ‘white truffle’, and …

The Paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes
Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the
presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot …

[HTML][HTML] Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists
To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species, …

The plant cell wall–decomposing machinery underlies the functional diversity of forest fungi
Brown rot decay removes cellulose and hemicellulose from wood—residual lignin contributing
