Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Aquatic fungal diversity assessment through metagenomics is still limited to current databases

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3249-3260, November 2025.
Abstract Fungi play essential roles across ecosystems, yet their diversity in aquatic environments remains poorly understood compared to terrestrial systems. To address this gap, we analyzed metagenomes from 26 lakes in the boreal and subarctic zones, along with one tropical reservoir, to characterize fungal and fungal‐like (Oomycota) community ...

A review on diversity and distribution of Polyporales

open access: yes
Polyporales, those shelf like wood-decay mushrooms that cling to trunks and logs, sit quietly at the heart of forest life, yet their real story is anything but quiet. This review stitches together, in broad strokes and the odd loose thread, what scientists (and a few field-roamers) have discovered about their staggering diversity, oddball biogeography,

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Hapalopilus nidulans (Polyporales: Polyporaceae) a new record from India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2011
Hapalopilus nidulans (Polyporales: Polyporaceae) is reported for the first time from India. It was collected on stored wood of Anogeissus latifolia, Chloroxylon swietenia, Ougeinia oojeinensis, Shorea robusta and Terminalia tomentosa from forest depots ...

Taxonomy and multi-gene phylogeny of Datronia (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) [PDF]

open access: yesPersoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2014
Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Datronia were carried out. Phylogeny based on ITS, nLSU and RBP2 regions revealed that Datronia in current sense includes species belonging to three distantly related clades in polypores. The Datronia in a restricted sense is proposed for the clade including the type species D. mollis and D.

The Desert in Bottles: The Culturable Microbiome of the Atacama Desert's Grit Crust

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
The grit crust represents a unique biocrust type of the coastal Atacama Desert. Cyanobacteria, green algae and free‐living fungi were isolated along a fog gradient. Phylogenetic relationships indicated novel taxa and framed an indigenous microbiome. Microclimate and soil data support functional groups related to sites.

A Contribution to the Phylogeny and Taxonomy of Phlebiopsis (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract An in-depth study of the phylogeny and taxonomy of the corticioid genus Phlebiopsis (Phanerochaetaceae) was conducted. Phylogenetic analyses of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and nrLSU sequences demonstrated that Phlebiopsis is a strongly supported clade that is distinct from its sister clade that includes Phaeophlebiopsis, Hapalopilus and ...

Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 15, August 22, 2025.
The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

Ectomycorrhizal decomposers and their niche(s) in boreal forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1998-2014, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi that produce oxidative enzymes—ectomycorrhizal decomposers—may limit soil carbon stocks while maintaining forest productivity in nutrient‐poor forest soils by mobilising nitrogen from organic matter.
