Image Analysis Characterizes Phenotypic Variation in the Growth of Mushroom-Forming Fungus Schizophyllum commune.

Abstract excerpt

Schizophyllum commune, a common wood-decay mushroom known for its extremely high genetic variation and as a rare cause of human respiratory diseases, could be a promising model fungus contributing to both biology and medicine. To better understand its phenotypic variation, we developed an image analysis system that quantifies morphological and physiological traits of mycelial colonies in Petri dishes. This study...
