This research studied the genetic basis of how Bailinggu mushrooms develop and grow, which is important for improving mushroom cultivation. The scientists identified key genes that control mushroom formation and developed genetic tools to help breed better mushroom varieties. This has several practical implications: • Better understanding of how to control mushroom growth conditions like temperature and light to improve cultivation • Development of new tools to breed mushroom varieties with desired traits like higher yields or better quality • Improved ability to preserve and utilize wild mushroom genetic resources for breeding programs • More efficient commercial mushroom production through optimized growing conditions • Enhanced capacity to develop new mushroom varieties adapted to different growing environments
