Mycology Literature
    #19252261 - 12/09/13 08:05 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello friends!  Hope all is going well.

I'm attending graduate school to get my PhD in genetics.  I've been working on a few projects with plants (algae, arabidopsis, marijuana, etc.), but I've recently looked into fungi.  We barely know anything!  Geneticists don't even have a model system for fungi, it's pathetic! 

I've done some research and growing of my own and am in awe of their potential.  I don't need to create agars containing special chemicals in an incubation chamber to grow bacteria, or feed, water, medicate mice.  The readings on the potential for fungi to fix the environment and my knowledge of genetics on how to transform have lead to me to their study!

I was wondering if anyone had any favorite resources for the following:

- Fungus life cycle and reproduction.  Especially the differences between the various subkingdoms of fungi.

- Species guide.  I've found plenty on psilocybin-containing mushrooms, but was wondering if anyone had a good one with many other species - particularly with additional usage information.

- Scientific Journals - These have been scarce, but a lot of people have papers that serve as a good foundation for study.  (for example, there was a genome-wide mutation study on Drosophila for development in the 1960s that professors like to assign)


Thanks all!

I'll highly recommend David Moore.  Two books- Fungal Morphogenesis and Essential Fungal Genetics.  You'll learn a lot and its pretty readable.

Awesome, found both online and they look good.  Thanks!  Hope I can find them in the library.

Hello,
I thought that Schitzophylum Commune was used as a model organism? Maybe this is just because they have strange sex cycles?(like thousands of mating types) I know at least several species of fungus have had their genomes sequenced as well, like S. commune and yeast - Saccharomyces cerevisae. Granted the latter is more of a model cell/simplified genetics system than a model organism which represents fungi

Ok I googled it real fast:
It seems you're right though, not much info at all to be had
Apparently these two are considered model organisms:

You're right, there are model systems.

Throughout my classes and research, fungi come up infrequently (although much is known about yeast) - especially fruiting/mushroom fungi.  I guess I'm more referring to the model systems having information on genetic development.  Need to watch my wording.  X/

I heard from a teacher who does an intro course at college for mushrooms at Penn State that "Mushrooms Demystified" is on of the best for identifying mushrooms, it's not focused on actives.
