“…Ectomycorrhizal fungi are essential components of forest ecosystems to supply the symbiont trees with water and nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen, and therefore are highly important in forest sustainability (Varma and Hock, 2013). A large number of ectomycorrhizal agarics are also edible and may be harvested in the wild for culinary use, so they are in need of immediate conservation actions (Vaario and Matsushita, 2021); this is the case, especially with the Cantharellus species in northern Iran (Parad et al, 2018(Parad et al, , 2020.…”

Agaric fungi are an important group of macromycetes with diverse ecological and functional properties, yet are poorly studied in many parts of the world. Here, we comprehensively analyzed 558 agaric species in Iran to reveal their resources of edible and poisonous species as well as their ecological guilds and luminescence potential. We also made a thorough survey of the antioxidant activity of the species. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed based on nuclear ribosomal LSU and ITS sequences. Our results reveal that agarics of Iran comprise about 189 edible, 128 poisonous, 254 soil saprotrophic, 172 ectomycorrhizal, 146 wood-inhabiting, 18 leaf/litter-inhabiting, 9 parasitic, and 19 luminescent species. Twenty percent of the Iranian agaric species possess antioxidant activity, phylogenetically distributed in four orders and 21 agaric families. About 5% of the antioxidant species can be considered strong antioxidants, many of which are also edible and could be utilized to develop functional foods. This is the first study combining phylogeny and antioxidant potential of agaric mushrooms in a large scale, and the obtained results would guide the selection of agaric taxa to be examined in the future for taxonomic revisions, biotechnological applications, and applied phylogeny studies.

“…Fruiting bodies were collected from Nur Forest Park, Mazandaran Province, Iran, N 36.579904 • , E 52.045385 • , in October 2021, and were deposited in the Iranian Cryptogamic Herbarium (ICH), Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), Tehran, Iran. The identification of the specimens was performed by MG as described earlier [15]. Fruiting bodies were lyophilized and then stored at −80 • C until further analysis.…”

“…Cantharellus alborufescens (Malençon) Papetti & S. Alberti (Cantharellaceae) grows in calcareous soils and its distribution is mostly associated with the occurrence of Mediterranean evergreen oaks in Europe. Parad et al (2018) also reported this species from the forests of northern Iran [15]. There are no reports on the chemical composition and nutritional value of C. alborufescens.…”

Chanterelles are one of the most highly valued wild edible mushroom genera worldwide. This work aimed to investigate the nutritional characteristics and volatile compounds’ profile of Cantharellus alborufescens for the first time. Proximate analysis was performed according to the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, while the mineral contents and the volatile compounds were determined using ICP-MS and GC-MS, respectively. C. alborufescens had an average of 25.8% protein, 5.5% fat, 12.7% ash, and 55.9% carbohydrates, including 11.4% fiber per dw of mushroom. Further analyses of the fat and protein contents revealed high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as monosodium glutamate-like amino acids. Linoleic acid (42.0% of fat) and oleic acid (28.6% of fat) were the major fatty acids, while leucine (1.2%) and lysine (0.9%) were the most abundant essential amino acids. The results showed that C. alborufescens contained 3.1 µg/g vitamin D2 and 4.9 mg/g vitamin E per dw, as well as notable quantities of macro- and microelements, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. GC-MS analysis revealed various volatile compounds such as acetaldehyde, n-hexanal, 3-methylbutanal, 1-octen-3-ol, etc. In conclusion, this study supports the use of C. alborufescens as a food rich in fiber and vitamin E, with a suitable amount of protein and other nutrients.

“…At present, while updates on Cantharellus taxonomy have progressed relatively quickly in western Europe and North America, that in Asia remains very fragmented. However, recent studies have reported several new chanterelles from China (Shao et al, 2011;Tian et al, 2012;Shao et al, 2014Shao et al, , 2016aAn et al, 2017;Jian et al, 2020), Japan (Suhara and Kurogi, 2015;Ogawa et al, 2018), Korea (Antonin et al, 2017;Buyck et al, 2020), Malaysia (Eyssartier et al, 2009;Buyck et al, 2014), India (Das et al, 2015;Buyck et al, 2018), and Iran (Parad et al, 2018). Recently, a large-scale survey of wild edible mushrooms in local markets in Yunnan province, southwestern China, revealed that there was at least one cryptic species within this group of species in this region (Zhang et al, 2021).…”

Mitochondrial genes and genomes have patterns of inheritance that are distinctly different from those of nuclear genes and genomes. In nature, the mitochondrial genomes in eukaryotes are generally considered non-recombining and homoplasmic. If heteroplasmy and recombination exist, they are typically very limited in both space and time. Here we show that mitochondrial heteroplasmy and recombination may not be limited to a specific population nor exit only transiently in the basidiomycete Cantharellus cibarius and related species. These edible yellow chanterelles are an ecologically very important group of fungi and among the most prominent wild edible mushrooms in the Northern Hemisphere. At present, very little is known about the genetics and population biology of these fungia cross large geographical distances. Our study here analyzed a total of 363 specimens of edible yellow chanterelles from 24 geographic locations in Yunnan in southwestern China and six geographic locations in five countries in Europe. For each mushroom sample, we obtained the DNA sequences at two genes, one in the nuclear genome and one in the mitochondrial genome. Our analyses of the nuclear gene, translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef-1) and the DNA barcode of C. cibarius and related species, suggested these samples belong to four known species and five potential new species. Interestingly, analyses of the mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit 6 (atp6) gene fragment revealed evidence of heteroplasmy in two geographic samples in Yunnan and recombination within the two new putative species in Yunnan. Specifically, all four possible haplotypes at two polymorphic nucleotide sites within the mitochondrial atp6 gene were found distributed across several geographic locations in Yunnan. Furthermore, these four haplotypes were broadly distributed across multiple phylogenetic clades constructed based on nuclear tef-1 sequences. Our results suggest that heteroplasmy and mitochondrial recombination might have happened repeatedly during the evolution of the yellow chanterelles. Together, our results suggest that the edible yellow chanterelles represent an excellent system from which to study the evolution of mitochondrial-nuclear genome relationships.
