Funghi di un nuovo ramo dell'Albero della Vita. Scoperto nuovo ramo di evoluzione dei funghi. Mai visti sulla Terra: questi organismi misteriosi stanno ossessionando gli scienziati. Sono ufficialmente alcuni dei funghi più strani della Terra e sembrano non adattarsi al nostro attuale albero della vita.

"Genome-Level Analyses Resolve an Ancient Lineage of Symbiotic Ascomycetes": Current Biology.

Over 600 species of #fungi, currently placed across 7 different classes, might all belong together on the same evolutionary branch, called #Lichinomycetes https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(22)01770-5?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0960982222017705%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

Using #DNA-based dating techniques, the team found that this new class of #fungi, called #Lichinomycetes, descended from a single origin 300 million years ago, or 240 million years before the #extinction of #dinosaurs.

"Using DNA-based dating techniques, scientists found that the new class of fungi, called Lichinomycetes, descended from a single origin 300 million yrs ago, or 240 million yrs before the extinction of dinosaurs.

Researcher, explains that these “oddball” fungi were previously sprinkled across 7 different classes — a high-level grouping that in animals would be equivalent to the groups called mammals or reptiles".
