Abstract: [Authors used PCR amplification products including RAPD and nuITS rDNA. "A number of distinct compatibility groups were recognizable based on geography, not host ecology. This type of genetic variation in these fungi suggests that sexual recombination is possible and that genetic differentiation has taken place recently as a result of geographic isolation, not host switching."
