This study characterizes GCD1, a Con7-related transcription factor in Coprinopsis cinerea, showing its role in fruiting body morphogenesis and evolutionary conservation across fungi.

This study identifies SRR1 as a conserved regulator of sporulation and ballistospory in mushroom-forming fungi, revealing its role in spore morphogenesis and identifying downstream targets.

The paper improves the functional annotation of the mushroom-forming fungus Coprinopsis cinerea by integrating a chromosome-level genome assembly with extensive expression profiling across multiple conditions.

The paper identifies a novel gene family, Snowball (snb), essential for fruiting body development in Agaricomycetes fungi, showing its role in differentiation through mutant analysis and transcriptomics.
