The causal agent of witches' broom disease, Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic and endemic fungus of the Amazon basin and the most important cocoa disease in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of polysporic isolates of M. perniciosa to evaluate the adaptation of the pathogen from different Brazilian regions and its association with different ...

Oudemansiella radicata, one of edible mushrooms belonging to Tricholomataceae of Basidiomycota, has been known to exhibit outstanding therapeutic effects on the hypertension caused by high blood pressure and inhibitory effects on the sarcoma 180 and Erhrlich carcinoma of mice. As one of preliminary experiments for producing fruiting-body of O. radicata, this study was carried out to obtain the ...

Phylogenetic relationships of the basidiomycete Lentinus were investigated using 20 morphological and 133 nucleic acid sequence characters from three regions in the 5' half of the nuclear-encoded large subunit rRNA. Molecular data were obtained from 34 individuals that represent 11 species in Lentinus, nine in the Polyporaceae, eight in the Tricholomataceae, and one in the Corticiaceae. Thanete...

Bu çalışmada, Osmaniye ili- Hasanbeyli mevkiide bulunan Armillaria mellea (Physalacriaceae) ve Tricholoma cedrestorum (Tricholomataceae) mantarlarının yetiştiği topraklar ile bu topraklara farklı oranlarda ilave edilen (toprak karbonuna eşdeğer 1/1X, 1/2X 1/4X oranda) mantarların toprak karbon mineralizasyonuna etkileri incelenmiştir. amaçla, A.

Two species of fossil mushrooms that are similar to extant Tricholomataceae are described from Cretaceous and Miocene ambers. Archaeomarasmius leggetti gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous amber of New Jersey, resembles the extant genera Marasmius and Marasmiellus. Two fruiting bodies of Archaeomarasmius were found. One consists of a complete pileus with stipe, and the other consists of a frag...
