Bipolar, not tetrapolar: mating system determination in Inonotus hispidus through genomic and phenotypic analysis

Puntos clave

• Mating system determination shows that Inonotus hispidus is bipolar rather than tetrapolar.
• Key evidence from genomic and phenotypic analyses reveals insights into fungal mating systems.
• Observational analysis of Inonotus hispidus illustrates the importance of both genetic and phenotypic traits in environmental adaptation.
• This study highlights the significance of understanding mating systems for broader ecological and evolutionary insights.
