Tricholoma matsutake is an ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus capable of in vitro saprotrophic growth, but the sources of C and N used to generate sporocarps in vivo are not well understood. We examined natural abundance isotope data to investigate this phenomenon. For this purpose, C, N and their stable isotopes (C, N) content of fungal sporocarps and their potential nutrient sources (i.e., foliage, litter, fine roots, wood, and soil) were investigated from two well-studied sites in Finland and Japan. Our results show that δC values of T. matsutake and other fungal groups are consistent with those of most studies, but a very high δN value (16.8‰ ± 2.3) is observed in T. matsutake. Such isotopic pattern of fungal δN suggests that matsutake has a greater proteolytic potential to digest chemically complex N-enriched organic matter and hydrophobic hyphae. This assumption is further supported by a significant and positive correlation between δC and δN exclusively in T. matsutake, which suggests common C and N sources (protein) possible for isotopically enriched cap. The C increase of caps relative to stipe presumably reflects greater contents of C-enriched protein than C-depleted chitin. We conclude that T. matsutake is a typical ECM fungus which obtains for its sporocarp development for both C and N from a common protein source (vs. photosynthetic carbon) present in soil organic matter.

is an edible ectomycorrhizal mushroom that forms a symbiotic association with Pinaceae trees by constructing a large extraradical mycelial area (called a shiro) in the soil. The detection of this fungal mycelium in the soil is crucial for estimating the success of outplanted mycorrhizal seedlings inoculated with under experimental conditions. Although several -specific DNA markers have been reported for efficient detection in the field, no comparative study has been conducted to assess their effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
- Wild-grown edible mushrooms from Yunnan, China, are significant for their role in diets and their ability to accumulate metals, particularly in geologically rich soils.
- The study analyzed soil and mushroom samples, revealing that while mushrooms accumulate various metals, they preferentially accumulate zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) over manganese (Mn).
- The highest health risks emerge from iron (Fe) accumulation in the mushroom stems, indicating potential toxicity from consuming these mushrooms, especially in areas with high soil metal content.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how solid-state fermentation with various fungi affects the nutritional components, isoflavones, and antioxidant activities of Apios americana Medikus (AAM), highlighting significant increases in fatty acid and amino acid content post-fermentation.
- - The fermentation process, particularly with the fungus Monascus purpureus, resulted in a remarkable increase in total fatty acids (up to 26.3 times) and improved mineral contents, demonstrating notable nutritional enhancement.
- - Isoflavone glycosides in unfermented AAM were converted to more beneficial aglycone forms during fermentation, leading to higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents, which suggests that fermented AAM could be a valuable ingredient for food and medicinal
