Abstract

The varied environments of Asia provide a wealth of mostly unknown mycobiota that offer special chances for fungal taxonomy and agricultural use. Deeper understanding of fungal biodiversity and the discovery of new species follow from recent developments in molecular phylogenetics, morphological analysis, and high-throughput sequencing that greatly improve fungal categorization. Emphasizing their evolutionary links and biogeographical ranges, this paper investigates the taxonomic advancement achieved in finding new fungus species across several ecological niches in Asia. Acting both as beneficial and dangerous organisms, fungi are vital in agriculture. Although plant-pathogenic fungi seriously jeopardize crop output, beneficial fungus including mycorrhizal fungi and plant development-promoting fungi (PGPF) help to maintain soil health, plant resilience, and sustainable farming methods. Moreover, the possibility of bioactive substances obtained from fungus in industrial biotechnology, biofertilizers, and biopesticides is getting more and more importance. Omics technologies—including metagenomics and metabolomics—have helped us to better grasp fungal interactions within plant and soil microbiomes, therefore enabling creative disease management approaches. Notwithstanding these developments, fully exploiting the agricultural possibilities of fungus still presents difficulties. Large-scale field studies, better taxonomic models, and the use of artificial intelligence in fungal identification and illness prediction should be the main priorities of next studies. Great potential exists for fungal taxonomy to be advanced, sustainable agriculture to be improved, and environmentally friendly biotechnological solutions for world food security by ongoing research of Asia’s mycrobiota.
