New findings on the fungal species <i>Tricholoma matsutake</i> from Ukraine, and revision of its taxonomy and biogeography based on multilocus phylogenetic analyses

Abstract

Matsutake mushrooms are among the best-known edible wild mushroom taxa worldwide. The representative Tricholoma matsutake is from East Asia and the northern and central regions of Europe. Here, we report the existence of T. matsutake under fir trees in Eastern Europe (i.e., Ukraine), as confirmed by phylogenetic analysis of nine loci on the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. All specimens from Japan,

Completede novoassembly ofTricholoma bakamatsutakechromosomes revealed the structural divergence and differentiation ofTricholomagenomes

“…The authors have no competing interests to declare. a Phylogenetic relationships among the following matsutake species have been reported (Aoki et al 2022, Muata et al 2013a, Ota et al 2012 b References: 1, Ota et al 2012;2, Murata et al 2013a;3, Aoki et al 2022;4, Murata et al 2022;5, Murata et al 2013b;6, Murata et al 1999;7, Yamada et al 2014;8, Yamada et al 2010;9,…”

“…Tricholoma matsutake and its allied species Tricholoma bakamatsutake are valuable edible mushrooms that grow in Pinaceae and Fagaceae forests, respectively. Because these fungi, which belong to Tricholoma section Caligata , have limited micromorphological variations, they were historically often classified in the wrong taxa, but they were later reclassified according to molecular analyses (Trudell et al ., 2017; Aoki et al ., 2022).…”

Shiro-like Structure Formation of Chinese Tricholoma matsutake Strain YN1 in Pinus armandii and Pinus elliottii Seedlings

“…T. matsutake tends to be symbiotic with Pinus densiflora [1][2][3]. Matsutake was once known as Tricholoma nauseosum in northern Europe [4][5][6]. T. matsutake is distributed in the northern hemisphere, mainly in Asia (China, Bhutan, Japan, North and South Korea, and Russia), North America (Canada and eastern USA), and Europe (Austria, Czechia, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, and Sweden) [1,[6][7][8][9].…”

T. matsutake (S. Ito & S. Imai) Singer is named "song rong" or "song koumo" in East Asia, and it is an edible ectomycorrhizal mushroom with high commercial value.…”

Cultivation studies of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms: successful establishment of ectomycorrhizal associations <i>in vitro</i> and efficient production of fruiting bodies

“…These mushrooms are harvested in forests or plantations for both domestic and export markets ( Arora, 2008 ; Tsing, 2015 , Pérez-Moreno et al, 2021 ). In Japan, imported matsutake mushrooms from countries such as China, USA, Canada, Morocco, Turkey, Mexico, and South Korea are valued at 80 to 100 million dollars annually ( Aoki et al, 2022 ), which is equivalent to domestic T. matsutake production within Japan, mainly in Nagano and Iwate Prefectures ( Yamanaka, Yamada, & Furukawa, 2020 ). During the past 20 y, truffle imports to Japan have increased such that their economic value in Japan now equivalent to around 10% that of the matsutake mushroom import value (MAFF; ).…”
