De Filippo et al. investigated the evolution of recombination suppression in dung fungi, revealing multiple, likely independent evolutionary strata, associated with an extended diploid-like stage in Schizothecium fungi.

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus associated with a diploid-like life cycle in Schizothecium fungi
Abstract. Recombination suppression often evolves around sex-determining loci and extends stepwise, resulting in adjacent regions with different levels of

#MycoKeys just published our paper on secondary metabolites of a new species of coprophilous Sordariales that arose in collaboration with African scientists. Congrats to all co-authors & thanks for funding from @MSCActions (#Mycobiomics) & #avHStiftung !
Pyrrospirone Z and related decahydrofluorene alkaloids produced by the new coprophilous species Schizothecium keniense (Schizotheciaceae, Sordariales)
A decahydrofluorene-class alkaloid, pyrrospirone Z (1a), along with pyrrospirone F (2), pyrrospirone M (3), GKK1032A2 (4), daldinol (5), orthosporin (6), and 3,4-dihydro-3,4,8-trihydroxy-1(2H)-naphtha...
