Bayesian relaxed clock tree based on amino acid sequence for 50 loci and linked to the fossil record at four divergences (20). Current hypotheses on the origin of complex, multicellular organisms are marked in orange. Comparison of Copriniopsis with Basidiomycota macrofungi Laccaria or Phanerochaete, or with Ascomycota macrofungus Tuber, could reveal commonalities associated with complex multicellularity. If microfungi that are complex and multicellular share these commonalities, useful comparisons could include Ascomycota on the clade that contains Neurospora and Aspergillus [Reproduced with permission from ref. 20 (Copyright 2010, Elsevier)].
