Article Synopsis
- The study investigates laccate fungi in Finland, focusing on identifying species with similar appearances that may actually represent different species.
- Sequencing DNA from Finnish samples and an older UK isolate, researchers conducted a phylogenetic analysis, revealing the UK isolate does not align closely with any established clades, while Finnish isolates showed a relationship to a specific lineage.
- Findings indicate that a phylogenetically related species may be present in Finland, but further research is required to clarify relationships between these fungi and their European counterparts.
Wood residues from forestry industries can be potential raw materials for specialty and edible mushroom production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of wood residues for the cultivation of originating from boreal forests. The substrates tested included sawdust and wood chips of spp.

New viruses emerge all the time and presently we have limited number of vaccines and only few antivirals to combat viral diseases. Fungi represent a vast source of bioactive molecules, which could potentially be used as antivirals in the future.

Fungal assemblages associated with I. typographus have varied considerably between studies but few investigations have attempted to explain this variation.
