Pyrodiversity's influence on soil fungal diversity is limited, with only community dispersion increasing in extreme fire conditions, challenging the broad applicability of the hypothesis.
Two new fungal genera, Curvophialophora and Drepanoconia, within Magnaporthaceae, were discovered on switchgrass in the Pennsylvania Serpentine Barrens.
Passage through the sclerotial stage does not cause lasting transcriptional reprogramming in Physarum species, with only transient gene expression changes observed in P. polycephalum.

Six new Inocybaceae species from North America are identified, with three in Inocybe, one in Inosperma, one in Pseudosperma, and one in Mallocybe, expanding the family's diversity.
A newly discovered Licea gorgona with a well-developed capillitium challenges existing taxonomy within the Liceaceae family.
Phylogenomic analysis reveals Coniothyrium glycines should be transferred to Aristastoma, expanding the genus to include species with sclerotia and aseptate conidia.
Nematode-trapping structures are confirmed in some saprotrophic Agaricales but absent in others, with only specific species actively trapping and consuming nematodes.
