Myb domain

Myb domain: conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain of MYB transcription factors, named for avian myeloblastosis v-Myb; 1-4 repeats of ~52 amino acids with helix-turn-helix motifs and spaced tryptophans; classes 1R, R2R3, 3R, 4R.

MYBL2

MYBL2 (B-MYB, BMYB), MYB proto-oncogene like 2, is a human gene at 20q13.12 encoding a MYB-family cell cycle transcription factor; overexpressed in many cancers and reduced in myelodysplastic syndromes.

MYBPC3

MYBPC3 (cardiac myosin binding protein C3), chromosome 11 gene encoding cMyBP-C, a sarcomere thick-filament regulator. Its truncating mutations cause haploinsufficiency and are the leading genetic cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Mycelium is the vegetative network of hyphae forming the body of filamentous fungi; it drives nutrient uptake, mycorrhizal plant symbiosis, the contested wood-wide web idea, and mycelium-based materials and food.

Mycena chlorophos

Mycena chlorophos (yakoh-take, green pepe) is a bioluminescent Mycenaceae mushroom from subtropical Asia whose gills emit green light around 530 nm for about 2 days at 20 degrees C; its luciferase gene luz and genome were sequenced in 2020.

Mycena polygramma

Mycena polygramma, the grooved bonnet (Dutch Streepsteelmycena), a grey-brown saprotrophic Mycenaceae fungus on dead deciduous wood, often oak, identified by its grooved stipe, 20-45 mm cap, and amyloid spores; inedible, possibly muscarine-containing.

Mycena sanguinolenta

Mycena sanguinolenta, the bleeding bonnet (basionym Agaricus sanguinolentus, 1805), is a small Mycenaceae mushroom exuding dark red latex, with red-edged gills, growing scattered on conifer needle litter, distinct from the larger wood-dwelling Mycena haematopus.

Mycena species and infrageneric classification

Mycena (Pers.) Roussel 1806 is a large mycenoid agaric genus with almost 600 species worldwide. Infrageneric classification rests on Maas Geesteranus's 38-section system, amended by new sections and molecular phylogenetics showing cryptic species.
