The subphylum Pezizomycotina (filamentous ascomycetes) is the largest clade within Ascomycota. Despite the importance of this group of fungi, our understanding of their evolution is still limited due to insufficient taxon sampling. Although next-generation sequencing technology allows us to obtain complete genomes for phylogenetic analyses, generating complete genomes of fungal species can be challenging, especially when fungi occur in symbiotic relationships or when the DNA of rare herbarium specimens is degraded or contaminated.

Article Synopsis
- The text talks about how some organisms, like fungi and cyanobacteria, work together in a friendship called mutualism, which makes them evolve slower than if they were fighting each other (like the Red Queen dynamic).
- Researchers studied about 2000 genes in different types of fungi, including those that form lichen (a plant-like mix of fungus and algae) and those that don’t.
- They found that lichen-forming fungi evolve slower because they have longer life cycles, and this discovery helps us understand how organisms can influence each other's evolution when they work together.
