The paper identifies the closest wild relative of Psilocybe cubensis in sub-Saharan Africa, P. ochraceocentrata nom. prov., and shows its divergence from P. cubensis occurred 1.5 million years ago, predating cattle domestication.

The paper uses RNA and DNA metabarcoding to study the temporal dynamics of the Populus tremuloides root microbiome, finding that active communities are more dynamic than total communities and that core members are often dormant.

The paper constructs a haplotype-resolved genome for Boletus edulis using Hi-C and PacBio sequencing, revealing genetic clusters and adaptive regions in European populations.

This study presents a genome-wide phylogenetic analysis of Boletaceae fungi, revealing their evolutionary history, biogeography, and trait evolution.
