Imagine wandering through a dark, silent forest at midnight, when suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shimmer with an eerie green light. Shapes emerge—tiny mushrooms glowing like embers, ...

When people think about glowing mushrooms, like the newly discovered species Mycena crocata, they often imagine tropical rainforests where such exotic wonders may be more commonly found. However, ...

To better understand the Mycena fungi, researchers examined the genetic material of 24 different species in the genus. They discovered that Mycena fungi have an unusually large amount of DNA for fungi ...

The species included represent six decayer categories: wood generalists, broadleaf wood decayers, grass litter generalists, broadleaf litter decayers, coniferous litter decayers, and overall litter ...

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 ...

The species included represent six decayer categories: wood generalists, broadleaf wood decayers, grass litter generalists, broadleaf litter decayers, coniferous litter decayers, and overall litter ...

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 ...

Given these fascinating characteristics, they sought to expand their understanding of the gene structure in these fungi to learn more about their lifestyle habits. In the course of the study, the team ...

A study of multiple Mycena mushroom species, also known as “bonnets,” reported in the journal Cell Genomics on June 27 has found that they have unexpectedly large genomes. While the mushrooms ...
