Clonal evolution and genome stability in a 2,500-year-old fungal individual

2018-07-26

Abstract excerpt

In the late 1980s, a genetic individual of the fungus Armillaria gallica that extended over at least 37 hectares of forest floor and encompassed hundreds of tree root systems was discovered on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Based on observed growth rates, the individual was estimated to be at least 1500 years old with a mass of more than 10 5 kg. Nearly three decades on, we returned to the site of individual f...
