Researchers sequenced the complete genome of Lepista sordida, a delicious edible mushroom valued for its health benefits, and studied how this mushroom responds to heat stress at the molecular level. Using advanced analysis techniques, they identified key proteins and signaling pathways that help the mushroom survive high temperatures. These findings can help farmers develop better-performing strains that are more resistant to heat, improving mushroom production.

Thermotolerance and post-fire growth in Rhizina undulata is associated with the expansion of heat stress-related protein families

Scientists sequenced the genome of a fungus called Rhizina undulata that uniquely depends on fire to activate its growth and infect conifer trees. By comparing this fungus to related species, they discovered it has extra copies of genes that produce special proteins for handling heat stress and dealing with the chemical changes that occur after fires. This finding helps explain how the fungus survives extreme heat and thrives in fire-damaged forests, which is important knowledge for forest management.
