Insect-derived in vitro culture medium enhances conidiogenesis and virulence in Metarhizium species, with one M. brunneum isolate showing increased virulence.
Integrative taxonomy identifies three new Parasola species in southern Punjab, Pakistan, with two nested within P. sect. Conopileae and one within P. sect. Parasola.
Genomic analysis places Ancylistes closterii as a sister to other Entomophthoromycotina fungi, confirming its taxonomic position within Zoopagomycota.
Four new molecular markers revealed 5 lineages, including a novel Inf4, within Alternaria sections Infectoriae and Pseudoalternaria infecting wheat and tomato.

Pseudomitrula species form an independent clade in Helotiales, leading to the proposal of a new family, Pseudomitrulaceae, based on phylogenetic analysis.
Six new Inocybaceae species from North America are identified, with three in Inocybe, one in Inosperma, one in Pseudosperma, and one in Mallocybe, expanding the family's diversity.
A newly discovered Licea gorgona with a well-developed capillitium challenges existing taxonomy within the Liceaceae family.
Fusarium graminearum uses a specialized ascus structure with two chambers to forcibly discharge spores, enabling effective spread of this wheat pathogen.
- Open access
PinA and XYP1 peptides demonstrate strong, stable binding to Candida albicans membranes, effectively inhibiting fungal growth in vitro without harming human cells.
Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers attract diverse insects and facilitate fungal dispersal by exploiting generalist insect sensory biases, with 50% of insects carrying fungal DNA.
- Open access
Two new fungal genera, Curvophialophora and Drepanoconia, within Magnaporthaceae, were discovered on switchgrass in the Pennsylvania Serpentine Barrens.
High-resolution nuclear genome analysis reveals three distinct global phylogroups of Synchytrium endobioticum with over 188,000 SNPs, enhancing strain tracking and quarantine efforts.
Passage through the sclerotial stage does not cause lasting transcriptional reprogramming in Physarum species, with only transient gene expression changes observed in P. polycephalum.

Joblinomyces undulatus, a new anaerobic fungus from Boer goat feces, is identified as a distinct species within the genus Joblinomyces, with less than 2% genetic divergence from related species.
Successful cultivation of Tuber himalayense in Japan produced 13 ascomata over 8 years, revealing homozygous mating types and advancing understanding of its reproductive dynamics.
Pyrodiversity's influence on soil fungal diversity is limited, with only community dispersion increasing in extreme fire conditions, challenging the broad applicability of the hypothesis.
Cryptoporus densiflorus is a newly identified East Asian species, distinct from C. volvatus, with a confirmed presence in Korea and Japan, and specific to Pinus densiflora.
