Establishing an approach of Morphologic, Genetic and Metabolomics Analysis for Polypore mushrooms in Namibia.
Project summary:
Species description of Namibian fungi is incomplete. Available gene sequences are not recorded with detailed information about the site of collection and morphology specimens. This study aims to establish a combined approach of morphologic, genetic and metabolomics analyses to describe two polypores of medicinal importance, Ganoderma and Trametes.
