Ricardo Matheus Pires, biologist (Bachelor's and Teaching degree) from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Rio Claro campus, São Paulo, Brazil. Masters and Ph.D. graduate from the Graduate Program in Plant Biodiversity and Environment, specializing in Nonvascular Plants and Fungi at the Institute of Botany (currently the Institute of Environmental Research - IPA/SP). I hold a postgraduate specialization in Education and Technologies: Teaching in Distance Education from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). My academic research encompasses taxonomy and systematics of Basidiomycota fungi, fungal ecology, and biodiversity. Concurrently, I have developed educational studies resulting in publications related to my undergraduate thesis and postgraduate specialization. I served as a substitute professor for five years at several higher education institutions, including UNESP-Litoral Paulista, UNIOESTE-Cascavel, UTFPR-Dois Vizinhos, and UNESP-Botucatu. Currently, I am a permanent teacher in Basic Education, teaching Science for 9th-grade Elementary students and Biology for High School students in São Paulo's state education.

Wood is a fraction of the biomass of inestimable importance for structuring the natural forest environment, it is an essential element in the carbon cycle. Wood decaying is back this carbon to the atmosphere and fungi are one of the main agents of this process, being benefited by temperature, humidity and low levels of extractives present in the wood. This study aims to understand the pro…
The term polypore is used to describe fungi whose fertile part of basidiomata, typically located on the surface facing toward ground, characterized by the presence of basidia tubes internally coated by forming a pore himenial surface. The representatives of this group are mostly degrading lignin, presenting the basidiomata leathery woody, often perennial. Its main result of their ecologic…
In tropical forests, wood is one of the major components of biomass and it retains carbon in form of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose molecules. Fungi are important organisms that are responsible for degrading these compounds in order to release CO2 back to the atmosphere. The present study aims to identify which fungi species occurs in three species of tree branches during two years o…
