Abstract

The ascomycete class Pezizomycetes (single order Pezizales) is known for its cup-shaped 19 fruit-bodies and the evolution of edible truffles and morels, but little is known about the 20 ontogeny and ecology of this large and ecologically diverse fungal group. In this issue, 21 Healy et al. (2012) make a great leap forward by describing and identifying asexual 22 anamorphic structures that produce mitotic propagules or spores in many ectomycorrhiza23 forming truffle and non-truffle species on soil surfaces worldwide (Fig. 1). Although such 24 anamorphic forms have been reported sporadically from certain ectomycorrhizal and 25 saprotrophic Pezizomycetes (e.g. Warcup 1990), Healy et al. (2012) demonstrate that these 26 asexual forms are both taxonomically and geographically more widespread and, in fact, 27 much more common than previously understood. With a single exception, conspicuous 28 spore mats were found exclusively from ectomycorrhizal taxa in natural habitats, implying 29 that asexual forms of saprotrophic species are minute or rarely induced in nature.
