Evolutionary priming and transition to the ectomycorrhizal habit in an iconic lineage of mushroom-forming fungi: is preadaptation a requirement?

B. P. Looney, S. Miyauchi, E. Morin, P.-E. Courty, A. P. Kohler, E. Lindquist, A. Kuo, K. LaButti, J. Pangilinan, A. Lipzen, R. Riley, W. Andreopoulos, G. He, J. Johnson, M. Nolan, , F. M. Martin

This study identifies genomic features of the transition to ectomycorrhizal habit in Russulaceae fungi, finding gene loss, TE expansion, and secreted protein associations with TE nests.

Miocene and Pliocene speciation of Russula subsection Roseinae in temperate forests of eastern North America

B. P. Looney, S. Adamcik, P. B. Matheny

This study identifies fourteen species in Russula subsection Roseinae using phylogenetic analysis and recognizes two new clades, attributing diversification to glacial refugia and jump dispersal.

Phylogenomics reveals dynamic evolution of fungal nitric oxide reductases and their relationship to secondary metabolism

S. A. Higgins, C. W. Schadt, P. B. Matheny, F. E. Löffler

The paper examines the distribution and evolution of p450nor genes in fungal genomes, finding they are more prevalent and variable than denitrification genes and linked to secondary metabolism.

Horizontal gene cluster transfer increased hallucinogenic mushroom diversity

H. T. Reynolds, V. Vijayakumar, E. Gluck-Thaler, H. B. Korotkin, P. B. Matheny, J. C. Slot

The paper identifies horizontal transfer of a psilocybin gene cluster among hallucinogenic mushroom species and suggests it provides a fitness advantage in specific ecological niches.
