The internal transcribed spacer sequences spanning the regions between the 17S and 25S rRNAs (ITS1 and ITS2) and including the complete sequence of the 5.8S rRNA were used for phylogenetic analyses. This approach to define phylogenetic relationships within the genus Tricholoma was tested using different isolates of T. terreum. Fruitbodies identified in nature were analysed in order to allow use of morphology for taxonomy. The isolates from different locations were closely related as could be expected for one species. Thus, the method could be applied to different Tricholoma species. Three clusters within the genus Tricholoma can be distinguished with four additional species not included in any of these clusters. Molecular analyses of two Cortinarius species confirm a phylogenetically distinct genus.

, a highly valued ectomycorrhizal fungus, requires a symbiotic relationship with pine trees for growth, complicating its cultivation. This study presents a comprehensive comparative genomic analysis of species, with a focus on . Genomic data from 19 assemblies representing 13 species were analyzed to identify genus-, species-, and strain-specific genes, revealing significant evolutionary adaptations.

To illuminate the temporal variations in the structure and functional groups of the root-associated fungal community associated with Mongolian pine var. plantations in the Mu Us Sandy Land, var. plantations with different stand ages (23, 33, and 44 a) were targeted.

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) was conducted for the first time using ustalic acid (UA) and the fruiting body of Tricholoma kakishimeji to localize mushroom toxins. The mushroom materials were systematically collected in Japan, and analysis of the cross sections of the materials at a resolution of 120 μm using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) revealed the localization of UA and its biogenically related metabolites. MALDI-IMS confirmed that UA was predominantly located on the entire surface of the fruiting body and accumulated in higher amounts in younger fruiting bodies than in mature ones.

Two different collections of the gilled wild fungus , collected in Italy, were subjected to phytochemical analysis. The fungal material was confidently identified by analysis of the ITS genomic sequences. Using both HR-LC-MS and NMR techniques, no evidence was found for the presence in the fruiting bodies of terreolides, terreumols or saponaceolides H-S, in striking contrast with the isolation of these terpenoids by Chinese authors from a mushroom collected in France and identified as .

As an ectomycorrhizal fungal genus that contains matsutake and other edible mushrooms, has great economic and ecological significance. However, the phylogenetic relationships within the genus remain unsettled. To clarify the infrageneric relationships of , including the identification of monophyletic subgenera and sections, three phylogenetic analyses were conducted employing single-locus (ITS), five-locus (ITS/ /mtSSU) and 50-locus (45 single-copy orthologous genes plus the aforementioned ones) DNA nucleotide sequences.
