This research studied the genetic diversity of King Oyster mushrooms collected from different locations in Jordan. The scientists used DNA analysis techniques to identify the mushroom species and understand how genetically different the samples were from each other. They found significant genetic variation between mushrooms from different locations, which is important for preserving biodiversity and developing improved mushroom strains. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps develop better cultivated mushroom varieties for food production – Contributes to preserving natural mushroom biodiversity – Supports sustainable agriculture and food security – Enables better quality control in commercial mushroom farming – Provides foundation for developing mushrooms with enhanced nutritional or medicinal properties
