WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana, Oct. 27 (TNSjou) -- Purdue University issued the following news release:
Mycologists tend to base their evolutionary assumptions about all fungi on the higher fungi such as mushrooms, bread molds and yeasts. But that is a mistake, according to a major recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The traits that the higher fungi possess are not indicative of the lower fungi, the early diverging fungi," . . .
