Abstract excerpt
Portions of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) were sequenced from members of the genus Lentinula and were used, along with partial beta-tubulin gene sequences, for phylogenetic reconstructions. The rDNA sequences of L. boryana were separated into two well-defined lineages. Lineage 1 was composed of isolates from Mexico and Costa Rica while lineage 2 encompassed isolates from the United States, Venezuela, and Brazil. The...
