“…10.3389/fmicb. 2022.1078663 Frontiers in Microbiology 09 frontiersin.org (Pinus, Abies, and Picea) confirm the geological events associated with species diversification, and those indigenous florae provide native secluded habitats for ancestral species of Morchella in QTPs (O'Donnell et al, 2011;Loizides et al, 2021). The Beringian Land Bridge as a species expansion channel is a critical driver of Morchella migrating to the QTPs between the Cretaceous and Paleocene when plant diversity was already established on QTPs, which means that the QTPs had formed a variety of suitable habitats for living organisms before in the Paleocene.…”

The PCR amplifications was performed according to Du et al (2019) , Baran and Boroń (2017) , and Loizides et al (2021) . The primers used for PCR are listed in Supplementary Table S2 .…”

“…Normal distribution was applied by setting the mean and the standard deviation to 582.5 and 50.15, respectively. Calibration points 2 for analysis were obtained by including sequences of the following two species: Verpa and M. rufobrunnea ( O’Donnell et al, 2011 ; Du et al, 2012a , 2015 ; Loizides et al, 2016 , 2021 ). The origin time of Morchella was estimated in BEAST v.2.6.6 ( Drummond and Rambaut, 2007 ) with the molecular clock and substitution models unlinked but with the trees linked for each gene partition.…”

“…The rapidly radiational differentiation of Morchella species was reported in North America, Asia, and Europe. M. rufobrunnea (Rufobrunnea clade), as the oldest taxon of the genus Morchella and might diverge into the basal lineage, originated in western North America in the late Jurassic ( O’Donnell et al, 2011 ; Du et al, 2012a , 2015 ; Loizides et al, 2016 , 2021 ). During the emergence of the Mid-Continental Seaway and the subsequent uplift of the Rocky Mountains, the ancestors of the Esculenta and Elata clades spread to eastern North America from western North America in the early Cretaceous ( Sanmartín et al, 2001 ; Donoghue, 2008 ; Du et al, 2015 ).…”

IntroductionMorchella has become a research hotspot because of its wide distribution, delicious taste, and phenotypic plasticity. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau subkingdoms (QTPs) are known as the cradle of Ice age biodiversity. However, the diversity of Morchella in the QTPs has been poorly investigated, especially in phylogenetic diversity, origin, and biogeography.MethodsThe genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR, based on Bayesian evolutionary analysis using sequences from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), nuclear large subunit rDNA (nrLSU), translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), and the largest and second largest subunits of RNA polymerase II (RPB1 and RPB2)), differentiation time estimation, and ancestral region reconstruction were used to infer Morchella’s phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography in the QTPs.ResultsFirstly, a total of 18 Morchella phylogenetic species are recognized in the QTPs, including 10 Elata clades and 8 Esculenta clades of 216 individuals Secondly, the divergences of the 18 phylogenetic species were 50.24–4.20 Mya (Eocene-Pliocene), which was closely related to the geological activities in the QTPs. Furthermore, the ancestor of Morchella probably originated in the Northern regions (Qilian Shan, Elata cade) and southwestern regions (Shangri-La, Esculenta clade) of QTPs and might have migrated from North America (Rufobrunnea clade) via Beringian Land Bridge (BLB) and Long-Distance Dispersal (LDD) expansions during the Late Cretaceous. Moreover, as the cradle of species origin and diversity, the fungi species in the QTPs have spread out and diffused to Eurasia and South Africa starting in the Paleogene Period.ConclusionThis is the first report that Esculenta and Elata clade of Morchella originated from the QTPs because of orogenic, and rapid differentiation of fungi is strongly linked to geological uplift movement and refuge in marginal areas of the QTPs. Our findings contribute to increasing the diversity of Morchella and offer more evidence for the origin theory of the QTPs.

Morchella is highly prized for its distinct and delicious taste, making it one of the most sought‐after and valuable macrofungi. Despite Pakistan exporting morels to various European countries, Morchella's diversity in this South Asian country has not been cataloged using multilocus DNA sequence data. Realizing the need for their scientific identity, various collections were commissioned, including those from the low and high altitudinal zones of the Charsadda, Swat, and Poonch districts of Pakistan during autumn of 2015 through 2019. Specimens were identified by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and portions of the RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1), second largest subunit (RPB2), and translation elongation factor 1‐α (TEF1) loci. Multigene molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed the autumnal collections were Morchella galilaea Masaphy & Clowez. The species was previously documented in the United States, China, Israel, and Turkey. A detailed taxonomic description, light and scanning electron microscopy, and multigene molecular phylogenetic analyses of the species are reported here for the first time from Pakistan. The study underscores the necessity for further surveys of unexplored areas of Pakistan and systematics of Morchella to augment species diversity and their geographic distribution.Research Highlights Specimens of Morchella were collected from low and high altitudinal zones in Pakistan during the autumn. Specimens were assessed using multigene (ITS, RPB1, RPB2, and TEF1) molecular phylogenetic analyses for the first time in Pakistan. The specimens were identified as Morchella galilaea based on multigene molecular phylogenetic analysis. Updated taxonomic descriptions of macro‐ and microanatomical characters were provided for clarity and precision. Hitherto‐unreported shapes of paraphyses and acroparaphyses are observed and thoroughly reported. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of an ascospore is provided.
