I am excited to announce the publication of another mushroom genome this week. The mushroom Schizophyllum commune is an important model system for mushroom biology, development of genome was sequenced as part of efforts at the Joint Genome Institute and a collection of international researchers. The data and analyses from these efforts are presented in a publication [...]

Francis Martin has written up a delightful summary pointing to our publication of the genome of Coprinopsis cinereus which appears in the early edition of PNAS and will grace the cover at the end of the month. I encourage you to take a look at Francis’s post and the paper, available as Open Access from PNAS. [...] The cover of the Jan/Feb Mycologia has a picture of a pretty weird place to find a mushroom growing – a new species of mushroom that was found fruiting underwater in the Rogue river in Oregon. This was reported about two years ago for a discovery that was made in 2005, but this is a formal [...] These papers got lost in my drafts of things to write about. Grants and overdue manuscripts are keeping me away from the blog. Published work from Gary Foster’s lab in Applied Env Micro show progress on genetic engineering tools to express introduced genes in the basidiomycete mushroom system Clitopilus passeckerianus. C. passeckarianus produces an antibiotic, pleuromutilin, an important [...] Alan Muskat raps about mushrooms in “A Fist Full of Mushrooms” (small) (large) - From the Bay Area Mycological [...] SFChronicle has an article on musroom poisining over this holiday season. Please be sure of what you are have found before eating. Waiting for that spore print is worth it when in doubt (at all!). [...] Mike Challen asks for anyone with Agaricus bisporus ESTs, BAC data, or mapping information to send them in the direction of the JGI to aid in the assembly and annotation of this [...]
NYT article on the work of Paul Stamets using fungi like Pleurotus for Dioxin cleanup in Ft Bragg, CA. Thanks for the link Pat! [...] PZ Meyers has a post summarizing of an older paper from Elliot Meyerowitz (2002) that comapares plant and animal development. In particular there is are some major themes summarized about how plants and animals form patterns and cell to cell signaling as part of development. What’s missing is what we’ve learned about within group comparisons where there are multiple lineages of single-celled and multicelled [...] |

Paul Stamets thinks so and he’s done work to make this happen. The founder of
