Onygenales from marine sediments: diversity, novel taxa, global distribution, and adaptability to the marine environment
The Onygenales represent a versatile group of fungi that primarily inhabit soils, degrading cellulose and/or keratin. While some are known human pathogens, others are osmotolerant or colonize chitin s...

Comparative and phylogenetic analyses using mitogenomes revealed gene re-arrangement of Boletaceae (Boletales)
Boletaceae, the largest family in the Boletales order, is an ecologically and economically important group and the phylogenetic studies of this group need to be further developed. The mitogenome is an...

From seagrass roots to saline soils: discovery of two new genera in Lulworthiales (Sordariomycetes) from osmotically stressed habitats
As part of an ongoing study of marine fungi associated with seagrasses, we discovered a novel root-fungus symbiosis in the Indo-Pacific species Thalassodendron ciliatum from Mauritius. Culturing its m...

Characterization of the mitochondrial genomes for Ophiostoma ips and related taxa from various geographic origins and related species: large intron-rich genomes and complex intron arrangements
The Ophiostomatales are of economic concern, as many are blue-stain fungi and some are plant pathogens. The mitogenomes of members assigned to this order exhibit size polymorphism despite having highl...

Phylogenetic and evolutionary insights from 30 newly-assembled Onygenales Mitochondrial Genomes: co-evolution of introns and HEGs shapes mitogenome size variation
Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) provide valuable resources for investigating fungal evolution; however, comprehensive mitogenomic datasets for Onygenales are still scarce. Here, we assembled and annotat...

High-level phylogenetic relationships within Pezizomycotina revisited
Here, we re-examine the high level phylogeny of Pezizomycotina with special attention to the recently proposed phylogenomic hypothesis (Díaz-Escandón et al. 2022) that “morphologically hyperdiverse” C...
