“…Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that basidiomycetes would play an important role in ancient terrestrial ecosystems, at least from the Early Devonian onward (Taylor and Krings, 2005;Krings et al, 2011a). However, their fossil record is largely from materials in the Mesozoic (Osborn et al, 1989;Hibbett et al, 1997;Krassilov and Makulbekov, 2003;Poinar and Brown, 2003;Smith et al, 2004;Poinar and Buckley, 2007) and Cenozoic (Poinar and Singer, 1990;Magallón-Puebla and Cevallos-Ferriz, 1993;LePage et al, 1997;Poinar, 2011Poinar, , 2014Hibbett et al, 2003;Fleischmann et al, 2007). The fossil record of basidiomycetes in the late Palaeozoic is relatively scarce (Taylor and Krings, 2005;Taylor et al, 2009Taylor et al, , 2014Krings et al, 2011a).…”

Trends in Morphological Evolution in Homobasidiomycetes Inferred Using Maximum Likelihood: A Comparison of Binary and Multistate Approaches

The homobasidiomycetes is a diverse group of macrofungi that includes mushrooms, puffballs, coral fungi, and other forms. This study used maximum likelihood methods to determine if there are general trends (evolutionary tendencies) in the evolution of fruiting body forms in homobasidiomycetes, and to estimate the ancestral forms of the homobasidiomycetes and euagarics clade. Character evolution was modeled using a published 481-species phylogeny under two character-coding regimes: additive binary coding, using DISCRETE, and multistate (five-state) coding, using MULTISTATE. Inferences regarding trends in character evolution made under binary coding were often in conflict with those made under multistate coding, suggesting that the additive binary coding approach cannot serve as a surrogate for multistate methods. MULTISTATE was used to develop a"minimal"model of fruiting body evolution, in which the 20 parameters that specify rates of transformations among character states were grouped into the fewest possible rate categories. The minimal model required only four rate categories, one of which is approaching zero, and suggests the following conclusions regarding trends in evolution of homobasidiomycete fruiting bodies: (1) there is an active trend favoring the evolution of pileate-stipitate forms (those with a cap and stalk); (2) the hypothesis that the evolution of gasteroid forms (those with internal spore production, such as puffballs) is irreversible cannot be rejected; and (3) crustlike resupinate forms are not a particularly labile morphology. The latter finding contradicts the conclusions of a previous study that used binary character coding. Ancestral state reconstructions under binary coding suggest that the ancestor of the homobasidiomycetes was resupinate and the ancestor of the euagarics clade was pileate-stipitate, but ancestral state reconstructions under multistate coding did not resolve the ancestral form of either node. The results of this study illustrate the potential sensitivity of comparative analyses to character state definitions.

“…Among them, two different forms are from the Mesozoic, including the earliest mushrooms, Palaeoagaracites antiquus from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber3 (∼99 Myr old), and the slightly younger Archaeomarasmius leggetti from New Jersey amber24 (∼90 Myr old). The remaining three species, Aureofungus yaniguaensis 5, Coprinites dominicana 6 and Protomycena electra 4, are known from early Miocene Dominican amber, some 20 Myr old. All known fossil agarics are very small in size.…”

Mycophagous rove beetles highlight diverse mushrooms in the Cretaceous

Agaricomycetes, or mushrooms, are familiar, conspicuous and morphologically diverse Fungi. Most Agaricomycete fruiting bodies are ephemeral, and their fossil record is limited. Here we report diverse gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) and mycophagous rove beetles (Staphylinidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, the latter belonging to Oxyporinae, modern members of which exhibit an obligate association with soft-textured mushrooms. The discovery of four mushroom forms, most with a complete intact cap containing distinct gills and a stalk, suggests evolutionary stasis of body form for ∼99 Myr and highlights the palaeodiversity of Agaricomycetes. The mouthparts of early oxyporines, including enlarged mandibles and greatly enlarged apical labial palpomeres with dense specialized sensory organs, match those of modern taxa and suggest that they had a mushroom feeding biology. Diverse and morphologically specialized oxyporines from the Early Cretaceous suggests the existence of diverse Agaricomycetes and a specialized trophic interaction and ecological community structure by this early date.
