Exploring the Critical Environmental Optima and Biotechnological Prospects of Fungal Fruiting Bodies
Fruiting body development is a principal mechanism in fungal morphogenesis, which often involves complex interplays of hormonal regulation, gene expression, and metabolic immobilisation influenced by environmental interactions, ultimately leading to the ...

Modified recipe to inhibit fruiting body formation for living fungal biomaterial manufacture
Living fungal mycelium with abolished ability to form fruiting bodies is a self-healing substance, which is particularly valuable for further engineering and development as materials sensing environmental changes and secreting signals.

Bacteria Associated With Shiraia Fruiting Bodies Influence Fungal Production of Hypocrellin A [PDF]
Hypocrellin A (HA) is a natural red perylenequinone pigment from Shiraia fruiting body, which was used clinically on various skin diseases and developed as a photodynamic therapy agent against cancers.

Bacterial community dynamics across developmental stages of fungal fruiting bodies
Increasing evidence suggest that bacteria form diverse communities in various eukaryotic hosts, including fungi. However, little is known about their succession and the functional potential at different host development stages.

Entomotoxic and nematotoxic lectins and protease inhibitors from fungal fruiting bodies [PDF]
Fruiting bodies or sporocarps of dikaryotic (ascomycetous and basidiomycetous) fungi, commonly referred to as mushrooms, are often rich in entomotoxic and nematotoxic proteins that include lectins and protease inhibitors. These protein toxins are thought to act as effectors of an innate defense system of mushrooms against animal predators including ...

Understanding the Evolutionary Processes of Fungal Fruiting Bodies: Correlated Evolution and Divergence Times in the Psathyrellaceae [PDF]
Fruiting body evolution is one of the central topics in fungal evolutionary biology. A number of hypotheses have been developed to explain the contemporary diversity of fruiting body forms, but their evaluation has been hampered by the lack of well-sampled data sets and suitable statistical methods.

Fungal fruit body assemblages are tougher in harsh microclimates [PDF]
Forest species are affected by macroclimate, however, the microclimatic variability can be more extreme and change through climate change. Fungal fruiting community composition was affected by microclimatic differences. Here we ask whether differences in

Mycelium vs. Fruiting Bodies of Edible Fungi—A Comparison of Metabolites
Edible mushrooms are widely appreciated for their appealing flavours, low caloric values and high content of presumably health-protecting metabolites. Their long history of safe use together with the looming worldwide food crisis have revived the idea of
