The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the green-bronze dung beetle, Onthophagus orpheus, and annotates its genes for future ecological and genetic studies.

This study presents the first annotated nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of Agarikon, revealing biosynthetic pathways and phylogenetic placement, and provides a foundation for future research on its medicinal properties.

This study sequenced 19 Basidiobolus genomes, revealing two major clades and cryptic species, along with diverse biosynthetic gene clusters.

The paper identifies the closest wild relative of Psilocybe cubensis in sub-Saharan Africa, P. ochraceocentrata nom. prov., and shows its divergence from P. cubensis occurred 1.5 million years ago, predating cattle domestication.

Comparative mushroom genomics and fly-rearing experiments reveal an alternative psilocybin biosynthetic gene cluster in Inocybe corydalina, horizontal transfer of the canonical cluster, and incomplete defense against dipteran larvae.

This study identifies two independent origins of the psilocybin gene cluster in Psilocybe by analyzing genome sequences and phylogenetic relationships.

This study characterizes the core fungal community and captivity-induced changes in the mycobiome of Fowler's Toad using metabarcoding of fungal communities.

The paper examines how urbanization affects fungal communities in water, sediment, and amphibian hosts across a rural-to-urban waterway, identifying fungal taxa sensitive to urban stressors as potential ecosystem health indicators.
