Conventionally lichens are considered as an example of symbiotic involvement between a fungus and one or more algae but it is widely debated and deserves further investigation. With the discovery of endolichenic and lichenicolous fungi this relationship becomes much more complex to explain. The ...

Some, notably Mycetozoa and Plasmodiophorida, are related to certain Protozoa more closely than to true fungi; others are evolutionarily closer to certain algae. Conversely, organisms often thought to be very distinct from fungi (notably lichens) or previously outside the domain of mycology and ...
You've probably seen a lichen, even if you didn't realize it. If you've ever meandered through the forest and wondered what the crusty stuff on trees or rocks was, they're lichens, a combination of algae and fungi living together almost as if they were o
Nonetheless, the presence of ubiquitously present BGCs in lichenized fungi has not been reported. The evolutionarily conserved presence of a BGC would suggest an important functional role, shedding light on the significance of secondary metabolites for lichens....
gum smears appear as pastel-colored scabs, which passers-by rarely ever notice, let alone stop to ponder. It’s a sad truth that lichens don’t receive a negative wrap; much worse, they get no wrap at all. They are the unsung heroes of the plant and fungi worlds, and frankly it is...
Mushrooms are a fascinating species of fungi that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Funghi Nell'acqua, or mushrooms in water, is a particularly unique type of mushroom that is known for its large size and its ability to grow in watery environments. This species of mushroom ...

Fungi are widespread throughout marine habitats. Most marine fungi are microscopic, either microfungi, yeasts, or swimming zoospore-producing groups such as the Chytridiomycota ('the chytrids'). The macroscopic exceptions are the marine lichens along coastlines. Marine mushrooms are yet to be discove...
