About this document

Fossil Mushrooms and Homobasidiomycete Evolution by haynobranco2021 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes two fossil mushroom species, Archaeomarasmius leggetti and Protomycena electra, found in Cretaceous and Miocene ambers, respectively. The fossils show similarities to extant genera and suggest that these fungi were likely saprophytes. The study highlights the significance of fossil evidence in understanding the evolution and phylogeny of homobasidiomycetes despite the challenges posed by their rarity.
