Pan-genome analysis reveals genomic variations during enoki mushroom domestication, with emphasis on genetic signatures of cap color and stipe length.

Introduction: The domestication of edible mushrooms, including Flammulina filiformis, offers valuable insights into the genetic changes driven by artificial selection. Understanding these changes is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms behind genome evolution in domesticated mushrooms.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the population structure, genetic diversity, and domestication-related genomic changes in F.

Insights into the genomic evolution and the alkali tolerance mechanisms of by comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

is a rare wild edible mushroom from northwest China, and grows naturally in mild saline-alkali soil, which is also unusual in mushrooms. represents a potential model organism for explaining saline-alkali tolerance mechanisms and revealing related physiological processes in mushrooms. Here, we provide a high-quality genome of .

Construction of a heat-resistant strain of by fungal Hsp20 protein overexpression and genetic transformation.

The shiitake mushroom () is the second most popular edible mushroom globally due to its rich nutritional value and health benefits associated with consumption. However, the characteristics of growing at low temperatures limit the area and time of its cultivating. We selected a low-temperature cultivar as the original strain.

Four new species of subgenus from China.

subgenus is widely distributed in the world. In this study, 114 specimens were included in multigene phylogenetic analyses that allowed a better circumscription of the four sections in . subg.

A revision of section with nine new species from China.

sect. includes numerous species that are potential candidates for cultivation, and some have high nutritional and medicinal interests. Between 2012 and 2017, 147 specimens of .

Offspring analysis using two cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers reveals amphithallism in the edible mushroom .

is an edible wild mushroom known in northwest China. It belongs to section that includes several popular cultivated species, such as , the button mushroom. The life cycle of the latter species has been described as amphithallic because both homokaryotic () and heterokaryotic () spores are produced that lead to heterothallic and pseudohomothallic life cycles, respectively.
