AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how fungi have diversified
The Sugadaira Mycology Lab studies the natural history of fungi, including molds and mushrooms (true fungi), and of pseudofungi, covering their systematics, ecology, and geographic distribution.
Fungi are a group of organisms with a great deal still unknown: the known species represent only a fraction of the species estimated to actually exist.
They are thought to have diversified through their interactions with other animals and plants, and with other fungi.
The lab aims to clarify the classification and life histories of fungi in line with their ecology in the natural environment, and to uncover the processes behind their diversification.
Key terms
- Fungi
- A group that includes molds and mushrooms. Many of its species remain unknown.
- Systematics
- Organizing and classifying species based on their evolutionary relationships to one another
- Natural history
- An approach that studies organisms as they exist in nature, including their ecology and distribution
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the natural history of fungi living in the natural environment, including their systematics, ecology, and geographic distribution. It aims to clarify their classification and life histories in line with their ecology in nature, and to uncover the processes of diversification that are thought to have advanced through their interactions with other organisms.
