The genus Suillus, also known as "Song mo," falls under the order Boletales and consists of various higher fungi. It establishes mycorrhizae primarily with pine trees and has a good taste and medicinal values. Herein, we reviewed the chemical compounds present in the genus Suillus, including polysaccharides, steroids, phenols, polyprenyl phenol derivatives, fatty acids, organic acids, and amino acids, and their reported bioactivities and potential applications. This review aims to promote the utilization of the resources belonging to the genus Suillus and serves as a theoretical basis for their future studies and clinical applications.

The family Erinaceidae encompasses 27 extant species in two subfamilies: Erinaceinae, which includes spiny hedgehogs, and Galericinae, which comprises silky-furred gymnures and moonrats. Although they are commonly recognized by the general public, their phylogenetic history remains incompletely understood, and several species have never been included in any molecular analyses. Additionally, previous research suggested that the species diversity of Erinaceidae might be underestimated.

Here, we characterized a novel mitovirus from the fungus Nigrospora oryzae, which was named "Nigrospora oryzae mitovirus 3" (NoMV3). The NoMV3 genome is 2,492 nt in length with a G + C content of 33%, containing a single large open reading frame (ORF) using the fungal mitochondrial genetic code. The ORF encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 775 amino acids with a molecular mass of 88.

Soil metal contamination can affect growth, metabolism, and reproduction of organisms, and can lead to death. However, some fungi have evolved metal tolerance and are able to live in contaminated soils. Species in the ectomycorrhizal genus Suillus from Europe and Asia display variation in metal tolerance, yet it is unknown whether this is a widespread trait in the genus and whether it occurs in North America.
