New scientific discoveries: Plants and fungi (2020, background): “For example, as little as 1.5% of all insect-associated fungi has been described thus far (Mueller & Schmit, 2007).”
Morphological approaches in studying fungi: collection, examination, isolation, sporulation and preservation (2020, background): “The collector’s number is written on tags that can be attached to the specimen and its duplicates (Mueller & Schmit 2007).”
Endophytic fungi harbored in Cannabis sativa L.: diversity and potential as biocontrol agents against host plant-specific phytopathogens (2013, background): “A vast majority of endophytes discovered so far are filamentous Ascomycota; this phylum comprises more than 3000 genera of mostly plant pathogens (Berbee 2001; Heckman et al. 2001; Mueller and Schmit 2007).”
Fungi in lake ecosystems (2010, background): “The Kingdom Fungi was only recognized some 40 yr ago, and its diversity is vastly understudied (only approximately 7% of total estimated species have been described; Mueller & Schmit 2007).”
An arctic community of symbiotic fungi assembled by long‐distance dispersers: phylogenetic diversity of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes in Svalbard based on soil and sporocarp DNA (2012, background): “…dispersal appears to be rare in basidiomycete ECM fungi and strong spatial genetic structure is emerging as the norm (Bergemann & Miller, 2002; Kretzer et al., 2005; Grubisha et al., 2007; Mueller & Schmit, 2007; Nuytinck et al., 2007; Geml et al., 2008; Halling et al., 2008; Matheny et al., 2009).”
The fungi: 1, 2, 3 ... 5.1 million species? (2011, background): “As was mentioned earlier, estimates of global fungal diversity usually omit insect-associated species because they are so poorly known ( Hawksworth, 1991 ; Rossman, 1994 ; Mueller and Schmit, 2007 ; Schmit and Mueller, 2007 ).”
Fungal endophytes in xylem of healthy chilean trees and their possible role in early wood decay (2008, background): “, 2007) and they are considered important components of fungal biodiversity which until now is believed to be an underestimate (Hawksworth and Rossman, 1997; Hawksworth, 2000; Arnold et al., 2001; Mueller and Schmit, 2007).”
Three reasons to re-evaluate fungal diversity 'on Earth and in the ocean' (2011, background): “…M species has beenwidely accepted by fungal experts, and inmany cases exceeded (Table 1), this approach is open to criticism as being too much of a generalisation from local data and not consistently applicable at a global scale (May, 1991, 1994; Mueller and Schmit, 2007; Schmit and Mueller, 2007).”
