This study examines phenotypic and genotypic variation in Schizophyllum commune strains, finding high diversity in mushroom development and lignocellulose degradation, with conserved genes for these traits across genomes.

The paper investigates how light affects electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune colonies, finding that specific wavelengths induce consistent spiking responses likely mediated by photoreceptors.

The paper identifies the SORBUS gene cluster as the mediator of high sorbic acid resistance in Penicillium roqueforti through genome-wide association, SNP analysis, and genetic engineering.

The paper analyzes RNA-seq data from Schizophyllum commune to show that spontaneous mutations accumulate during strain preservation, with a mutation rate of 1.923×10^-8 per haploid genome per base per generation.
