The project has three main aims: (i) identify species diversity with this large and ecologically and economically important mushroom family Boletaceae; (ii) reveal the relationships among species; and (iii) analyze the relationships among geographic populations of a single species Boletus edulis.
Impact
The results will help our understanding of fungal evolution and how best to utilize and conserve this important natural resources.
