Figure 1.
The colonial characteristics of V. volvacea stains PYd15(a, b), H1521(c, d) and PYd21(e, f).
(a,c,e). strains were growth on PDA plates and images were captured after 4 d of growth. (b,d,f). strains were growth on a straw-based medium and images were captured after 15 d of cultivation.

Figure 2.
Double clustering of the carbohydrate-cleaving families of 8 basidiomycete genomes.
Top tree: S. com. for Schizophyllum commune; V. vol. for Volvariella volvacea; P. chr. for Phanerochaete chrysosporium; C. cin. for Coprinopsis cinerea; P. pla. for Postia placenta; L. bio. for Laccaria bicolor; C. neo. for Cryptococcus neoformans; U. may. for Ustilago maydis. Left tree: the enzyme families are represented by their class (GH for glycoside hydrolase; PL for polysaccharide lyase; CE for carbohydrate esterase) and family number according to the carbohydrate-active enzyme database [23]. Right side: known substrate of CAZy families. Abundance of the different enzymes within a family is represented by a colour scale from 0 (black) to >20 (red) occurrences per species.
