Swiss artists discovered glowing mushrooms in Zurich forests, identifying a new bioluminescent species, Mycena crocata.

Carrying more than you need is rarely an advantage, not even in genetics. For this reason, genes and DNA that are not vital tend to disappear over time. When researchers examined fungi in the Mycena ...

Certain Mycena strains living in the Arctic have some of the largest mushroom genomes ever described. Mycena mushrooms exhibit unexpectedly large genomes, particularly in Arctic species, suggesting ...

A study published in Cell Genomics reveals that various Mycena mushroom species possess unexpectedly large genomes. Previously believed to be purely saprotrophic—degrading dead organic matter—the ...

A study of multiple Mycena mushroom species reported in the journal Cell Genomics has found that they have unexpectedly large genomes. While the mushrooms had been thought to be purely saprotrophic - ...

A group of common mushroom species known as bonnets has given scientists a rare glimpse into "evolution in action", according to a new study, supported by experts at The James Hutton Institute. The ...

In a new study from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), scientists have discovered that Mycena mushrooms have surprisingly large genomes. This revelation contradicts long-held ...
