I would gladly welcome any ideas - on the species but also on how to proceed. #Fungifriends #Ascomycetes

#FungalFact 16:
Lichenized fungi, or simply #lichens, make up about one-fifth of all known #fungi worldwide, totaling around 18,500 to 20,000 species. They represent roughly half of all known #Ascomycetes.

I think this jewelweed is infected by the ascomycete fungus, Mycosphaerella impatientis. I've gone back to this location multiple times and have never been able to find it again. #fungus #fungi #PlantPathology #jewelweed #impatiens #mycology #ascomycetes #FungiFriday #nature

Genome studies uncover a new branch in fungal #evolution https://phys.org/news/2022-11-genome-uncover-fungal-evolution.html

Genome-level analyses resolve an ancient lineage of symbiotic #ascomycetes (pdf): https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(22)01770-5.pdf #genomics #phylogenomics #symbiosis

About 600 seemingly disparate #fungi that never quite found a fit along the fungal family tree have been shown to have a common ancestor.This new class of fungi, called #Lichinomycetes, descended from a single origin 300 million years ago.

Genome studies uncover a new branch in fungal evolution

About 600 seemingly disparate fungi that never quite found a fit along the fungal family tree have been shown to have a common ancestor, according to a University of Alberta-led research team that used genome sequencing to give these peculiar creatures their own classification home.

Ik zag veel wimperzwammetjes vandaag in Stadspark Groningen, zo leuk zijn ze!

Just writing up this pretty new Cosmospora species from a freshwater stream in South Australia. #fungi #mycology #ascomycetes #phylogenetics

Een mini sottobosco in een plantenbak in mijn tuin, wat er wel niet leeft op een oude brandneteltwijg, zwavelgele franjekelkjes en een veelpotig insect.
