Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale
Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

Poria cocos as a Functional Food for Diabetes and Diabetes‐Related Foot Ulcers
Poria cocos is known as an edible mushroom for food and medicine. Poria cocos and its terpenes and terpenoids serve as novel remedies to treat diabetes and its ulcers. Its mode of actions includes reduction of insulin resistance, starch digestion and inflammation as well as promotion of blood vessel formation. ABSTRACT Poria cocos is a medicinal fungus

Agaricales Mushroom Lignin Peroxidase: From Structure–Function to Degradative Capabilities
Lignin biodegradation has been extensively studied in white-rot fungi, which largely belong to order Polyporales. Among the enzymes that wood-rotting polypores secrete, lignin peroxidases (LiPs) have been labeled as the most efficient.

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.
