Hallmarks of Basidiomycete Soft- and White-Rot in Wood-Decay -Omics Data of Two Armillaria Species [PDF]
Wood-decaying Basidiomycetes are among the most efficient degraders of plant cell walls, making them key players in forest ecosystems, global carbon cycle, and in bio-based industries. Recent insights from -omics data revealed a high functional diversity

Collection and Characterization of Wood Decay Fungal Strains for Developing Pure Mycelium Mats. [PDF]
Wood decay fungi (WDF) seem to be particularly suitable for developing myco-materials due to their mycelial texture, ease of cultivation, and lack of sporification.

Gene family expansions and transcriptome signatures uncover fungal adaptations to wood decay. [PDF]
Summary Because they comprise some of the most efficient wood‐decayers, Polyporales fungi impact carbon cycling in forest environment. Despite continuous discoveries on the enzymatic machinery involved in wood decomposition, the vision on their ...

Dynamics of dead wood decay in Swiss forests
Background Forests are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle and can be net sources or sinks of CO2, thus mitigating or exacerbating the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

Accurate forest projections require long-term wood decay experiments because plant trait effects change through time. [PDF]
Whether global change will drive changing forests from net carbon (C) sinks to sources relates to how quickly deadwood decomposes. Because complete wood mineralization takes years, most experiments focus on how traits, environments and decomposer ...

Response of the wood-decay fungus Schizophyllum commune to co-occurring microorganisms. [PDF]
Microorganisms are constantly interacting in a given environment by a constant exchange of signaling molecules. In timber, wood-decay fungi will come into contact with other fungi and bacteria.

Conserved white-rot enzymatic mechanism for wood decay in the Basidiomycota genus Pycnoporus. [PDF]
White-rot (WR) fungi are pivotal decomposers of dead organic matter in forest ecosystems and typically use a large array of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes to deconstruct lignocellulose.

Fungus wars: basidiomycete battles in wood decay. [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms underlying wood decay basidiomycete community dynamics is crucial for fully understanding decomposition processes, and for modelling ecosystem function and resilience to environmental change.

Evolutionary dynamics of host specialization in wood-decay fungi. [PDF]
The majority of wood decomposing fungi are mushroom-forming Agaricomycetes, which exhibit two main modes of plant cell wall decomposition: white rot, in which all plant cell wall components are degraded, including lignin, and brown rot, in which lignin ...
