TL;DR: All fungal species represented by at least two ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are now given a unique, stable name of the accession number type, and the term ‘species hypothesis’ (SH) is introduced for the taxa discovered in clustering on different similarity thresholds.

TL;DR: Fungal traits and character database FungalTraits operating at genus and species hypothesis levels is presented in this article, which includes 17 lifestyle related traits of fungal and Stramenopila genera.

TL;DR: Network properties among a broad suite of plant-associated fungi were largely comparable and generally unrelated to phylogenetic distance among hosts, and network metrics were predominantly affected by sampling and matrix properties, indicating the importance of study design in properly inferring ecological patterns.

TL;DR: Temporal changes in OrM fungal communities in roots of certain species indicate selection of suitable fungal species by plants, but it remains to be elucidated whether these shifts depend on functional differences inside roots, seasonality, climate or succession.

TL;DR: In this article, the realised niches of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) virtual taxa (VT; approximately species-level phylogroups) were modelled and found that environmental and spatial variables jointly explained VT distribution worldwide, with temperature and pH being the most important abiotic drivers.
