Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms that play fundamental roles in regulating key ecosystem processes. They act as major decomposers of organic matter, contribute to carbon mineralization and sequestration, and act as rucial regulators of the soil carbon balance, which is a major priority for human survival in this century (Crowther et al., 2019).
Besides the freeliving saprotrophs, many fungal species form symbiotic associations with plants or nimals. As plant pathogens, fungi significantly influence plant primary production as well as plant species richness and community composition.
In both animals and plants, an unprecedented number of fungal diseases have recently caused some of the most severe die-offs and are jeopardizing food security (Fisher et al., 2012).
