And this - "The international team of researchers decided to examine species in this genus because they had been studied by scientists previously and were easy to grow in the lab." There are so many fungi that haven't had their taxonomy studied let alone their genetics; so much to learn. "The pace of advances in DNA sequencing are just mind boggling,” says Joseph Heitman, a geneticist and infectious disease expert at Duke University who wasn’t involved in the study but has investigated fungal mating strategies before. “This kind of study would have been cost and time prohibitive even five years ago.”
