“…How complex multicellularity manifests during fruiting body development has been of interest among mycologists for a long time. Information based on mutant screens and classical genetic techniques (Kues, ; Pöggeler, Nowrousian, & Kück, ; Pelkmans, Lugones, & Wosten, ) is being increasingly complemented by high‐throughput studies based on whole‐genome sequencing and RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐Seq; Nowrousian, ). Studies involving whole‐transcriptome comparisons (Table ) have revealed important principles of fruiting body development in both model and non‐model fungal species.…”

Complex multicellularity in fungi: evolutionary convergence, single origin, or both?

Complex multicellularity represents the most advanced level of biological organization and it has evolved only a few times: in metazoans, green plants, brown and red algae and fungi. Compared to other lineages, the evolution of multicellularity in fungi follows different principles; both simple and complex multicellularity evolved via unique mechanisms not found in other lineages. Herein we review ecological, palaeontological, developmental and genomic aspects of complex multicellularity in fungi and discuss general principles of the evolution of complex multicellularity in light of its fungal manifestations. Fungi represent the only lineage in which complex multicellularity shows signatures of convergent evolution: it appears 8-11 times in distinct fungal lineages, which show a patchy phylogenetic distribution yet share some of the genetic mechanisms underlying complex multicellular development. To explain the patchy distribution of complex multicellularity across the fungal phylogeny we identify four key observations: the large number of apparently independent complex multicellular clades; the lack of documented phenotypic homology between these clades; the conservation of gene circuits regulating the onset of complex multicellular development; and the existence of clades in which the evolution of complex multicellularity is coupled with limited gene family diversification. We discuss how these patterns and known genetic aspects of fungal development can be reconciled with the genetic theory of convergent evolution to explain the pervasive occurrence of complex multicellularity across the fungal tree of life.

“…Alongside the model mushrooms Coprinopsis cinerea and Schizophyllum commune , A. aegerita has also been investigated to study the fundamentals of agaricomycete fruit body (mushroom) formation [ 5 , 12 – 28 ]. Apart from the normal dikaryotic fruit body formation, A. aegerita is also capable of monokaryotic fruiting.…”

The genome sequence of the commercially cultivated mushroom Agrocybe aegerita reveals a conserved repertoire of fruiting-related genes and a versatile suite of biopolymer-degrading enzymes

BackgroundAgrocybe aegerita is an agaricomycete fungus with typical mushroom features, which is commercially cultivated for its culinary use. In nature, it is a saprotrophic or facultative pathogenic fungus causing a white-rot of hardwood in forests of warm and mild climate. The ease of cultivation and fructification on solidified media as well as its archetypal mushroom fruit body morphology render A. aegerita a well-suited model for investigating mushroom developmental biology.ResultsHere, the genome of the species is reported and analysed with respect to carbohydrate active genes and genes known to play a role during fruit body formation. In terms of fruit body development, our analyses revealed a conserved repertoire of fruiting-related genes, which corresponds well to the archetypal fruit body morphology of this mushroom. For some genes involved in fruit body formation, paralogisation was observed, but not all fruit body maturation-associated genes known from other agaricomycetes seem to be conserved in the genome sequence of A. aegerita. In terms of lytic enzymes, our analyses suggest a versatile arsenal of biopolymer-degrading enzymes that likely account for the flexible life style of this species. Regarding the amount of genes encoding CAZymes relevant for lignin degradation, A. aegerita shows more similarity to white-rot fungi than to litter decomposers, including 18 genes coding for unspecific peroxygenases and three dye-decolourising peroxidase genes expanding its lignocellulolytic machinery.ConclusionsThe genome resource will be useful for developing strategies towards genetic manipulation of A. aegerita, which will subsequently allow functional genetics approaches to elucidate fundamentals of fruiting and vegetative growth including lignocellulolysis.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12864-017-4430-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…These Principles form the warp and weft of the canvas upon which fungal developmental biology has been built by the cell and molecular biologists of the pre-genomics era. It is now up to the genomic systems analysts to paint the rest of the individual details of the stories on that canvas (Kües & Navarro-González, 2015;Kües et al, 2018;Halbwachs et al, 2016;Pelkmans et al, 2016;Hibbett et al, 2017;Stajich, 2017).…”

We review the most recent developments in understanding the nature of development and morphogenesis in fungi and suggest how it might be applied to biotechnological manipulation of some cultivated mushrooms. We believe that it is essential to match the deductions of the molecular observations of the genomics generation with the inductive reasoning of the in vivo experiments and observations of the pregenomics generations to take full advantage of the synergism between the approaches to illuminate better the living biology of the system. As specific examples we show how model mushroom fungi (Coprinopsis and Volvariella) make hymenia and gills (not forgetting how the polypore Phellinus makes tubes), developmental commitment and pattern formation. The Coprinopsis sporophore also provides examples for the construction of mushroom stems and the coordination of cell behaviour throughout the maturing sporophore and the timing process that achieves that. This leads us to consider the mechanics of the mushroom and its dependence on the biochemistry and regulation of metabolism in relation to morphogenesis, and how it varies between species. We finish with our summary of the basic principles of fungal developmental biology. Having demonstrated how classic approaches allowed progress to be made in the study of fungal development we show how this has been accelerated by genomics and other aspects of global analysis of macromolecules. We also include work on some cultivated mushrooms to illustrate how the generalisations from research on model organisms might be applied in mushroom farming.
