Armillaria root rot fungi host single-stranded RNA viruses
Abstract Species of Armillaria are distributed globally and include some of the most important pathogens of forest and ornamental trees. Some of them form large long-living clones that are considered as one of the largest organisms on earth and are capable of long-range spore-mediated transfer as we...

Abstract Species of Armillaria are distributed globally and include some of the most important pathogens of forest and ornamental trees.
