In line with its habitat of herbivore dung this ascomycete has an exceptionally rich gene set devoted to the catabolism of complex carbohydrates. Fungi represent a vast and highly successful branch of the Eukaryota. Yet the fungal kingdom is invariably overshadowed by the animal and plant kingdoms in the minds of the general public and scientist alike. All too often even biology students are uncertain about the evolutionary position of the Fungi which for gastronomic reasons are sometimes equated with plants. Direct contact with the fungal world in the form of a brightly colored poisonous mushroom or a moldy crust of bread more often inspires disgust than actual interest. Genomics however is one field in which fungi do very well. The discipline started with the pioneering effort on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and with more than 40 fully sequenced species fungi have the greatest number of sequenced genomes of any branch of the eukaryotes 1 . This densely knit network of sequences provides a unique opportunity for comparative genomics and holds great promise in helping to understand how sequence defines phenotype and how evolutionary events shaped the organisms that make up our biosphere.
