Phylogenetic and taxonomic updates of , with an emphasis on .

The order was divided into eight suborders. However, the phylogenetic relationships among some suborders are largely unresolved, and the phylogenetic positions and delimitations of some taxa, such as and , remain unsettled. In this study, sequence data of 38 genomes were generated through genome skimming on an Illumina sequencing system.

Disaster Plant Pathology: Smart Solutions for Threats to Global Plant Health from Natural and Human-Driven Disasters.

Disaster plant pathology addresses how natural and human-driven disasters impact plant diseases and the requirements for smart management solutions. Local to global drivers of plant disease change in response to disasters, often creating environments more conducive to plant disease. Most disasters have indirect effects on plant health through factors such as disrupted supply chains and damaged infrastructure.

On the origin of bird's nest fungi: Phylogenomic analyses of fungi in the Nidulariaceae (Agaricales, Basidiomycota).

Nidulariaceae, also known as bird's nest fungi, is an understudied group of mushroom-forming fungi. The common name is derived from their nest-like morphology. Bird's nest fungi are ubiquitous wood decomposers or saprobes on dung.

The Use of Synthetic Microbial Communities to Improve Plant Health.

Despite the numerous benefits plants receive from probiotics, maintaining consistent results across applications is still a challenge. Cultivation-independent methods associated with reduced sequencing costs have considerably improved the overall understanding of microbial ecology in the plant environment. As a result, now, it is possible to engineer a consortium of microbes aiming for improved plant health.

Revising the taxonomic placement of within the Laetiporaceae.

The fungus currently known as is a recognizable brown-rot decayer that is widespread on oak hosts in the southeastern United States. This species was first described as in 1872 based on collections by Henry W. Ravenel from South Carolina.

Molecular systematics and taxonomic overview of the bird's nest fungi (Nidulariaceae).

Fungi in the Nidulariaceae, otherwise known as 'bird's nest fungi', are among the least studied groups of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota). Bird's nest fungi are globally distributed and typically grow on woody debris or animal dung as saprotrophs. This group of fungi is morphologically diverse with ca.

Resurrecting the genus : Systematic study of fungi in the genera and () with the description of three new South American species.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses have addressed the systematic position of several major Northern Hemisphere lineages of but the taxa of the Southern Hemisphere remain understudied. This study focuses on the molecular systematics and taxonomy of Southern Hemisphere species currently treated in the genera and . Species in these genera have been identified as the monophyletic /gymnohydnotrya lineage, but no further research has been conducted to determine the evolutionary origin of this lineage or its relationship with other lineages.

Systematic study of truffles in the genus , with the description of two new species from Patagonia.

is a genus of exothecial, ectomycorrhizal fungi in the order Pezizales. Ascomata of exothecial fungi typically lack a peridium and are covered with a hymenial layer instead. species have nonoperculate asci and highly ornamented ascospores.
