Journal ArticleDOI

Global diversity and geography of soil fungi

Leho Tedersoo, +57 more
- 28 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Diversity of most fungal groups peaked in tropical ecosystems, but ectomycorrhizal fungi and several fungal classes were most diverse in temperate or boreal ecosystems, and manyfungal groups exhibited distinct preferences for specific edaphic conditions (such as pH, calcium, or phosphorus).
Journal ArticleDOI

FungalTraits: a user-friendly traits database of fungi and fungus-like stramenopiles

Sergei Põlme, +135 more
- 01 Nov 2020 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ascomycetes associated with ectomycorrhizas: molecular diversity and ecology with particular reference to the Helotiales

TL;DR: A high diversity of these fungi on different hosts and habitats is demonstrated and the ubiquity and diversity of the secondary root-associated fungi should be considered in studies of mycorrhizal communities to avoid overestimating the richness of true symbionts.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multigene phylogeny toward a new phylogenetic classification of Leotiomycetes

TL;DR: A phylogeny based on up to 15 concatenated genes across 279 specimens of Leotiomycetes constitutes a framework for enabling future taxonomically targeted studies using deliberate specimen selection, and an ITS gene tree is presented, particularly targeting ex-type specimens of generic type species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for the polyphyly of Encoelia and Encoelioideae with reconsideration of respective families in Leotiomycetes

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses revealed Encoelia and Encoelioideae to be highly polyphyletic, with species distributed among eight major lineages and inclusion of en coelioid genera in Chaetomellaceae and Sclerotiniaceae added xylicolous saprotrophs to these families.
