Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and several other institutions have characterized a sample of “mystery” fungus and found its home in the fungal tree of life. The fungus’s exact placement among the taxonomic order was unknown until now. Los Alamos National Laboratory conducts a wide range of biological research efforts as part of its national security science mission, with such research as phylogenetic analysis helping to determine safe pathogens and disease transmission pathways.
