Abstract excerpt
The current study was conducted to obtain the first detailed assessment of true morel (Morchella) species diversity in Pakistan. A collection of 179 morels was obtained by conducting field surveys in 13 districts during spring and autumn of 2014 through 2020. Species were identified phylogenetically by analyzing portions of two (RPB1, RPB2) or four (RPB1, RPB2, TEF1, ITS rDNA) marker loci together with authentic...
