Transcriptomics Reveals the Putative Mycoparasitic Strategy of the Mushroom <i>Entoloma abortivum</i> on Species of the Mushroom Genus <i>Armillaria</i>
Rachel A. Koch, Joshua R. Herr
Abstract
By studying fungi that parasitize other fungi, we can understand the basic biology of these unique interactions. Studies focused on the genetic mechanisms regulating mycoparasitism between host and parasite have thus far concentrated on a single fungal lineage within the Ascomycota.
