Der Braune Kellerschwamm (Coniophora puteana), auch Brauner Warzenschwamm oder Dickhäutiger Braunsporrindenpilz genannt, ist eine holzzersetzende Pilzart aus der Familie der Braunsporrindenpilzverwandten. Neben dem Echten Hausschwamm ist er in unseren Breiten einer der am häufigsten vorkommenden Schadpilzen in Gebäuden. Der Name „Kellerschwamm“ ist irreführend, weil der Pilz keineswegs auf Kellerräume beschränkt ist, sondern bei geeigneten Lebensbedingungen in allen Gebäudeteilen sowie an feuchten Stellen an Totholz im Wald auftreten kann.

Compounds documented for Coniophora puteana across natural-product and food-composition databases — not just the ~150 nutrients on a classic label ("nutritional dark matter").
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Coniophora puteana has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT
The complete instruction manualConiophora puteana carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Genome sizehow big the whole instruction manual is
Genome size32 700 000 bp
Measured in base pairs (bp) — the individual letters of DNA (human ≈ 3.2 Gb, a bacterium a few million). The chart places this genome on a logarithmic scale — each step to the right is ten times bigger — among reference organisms. Across species a bigger genome loosely tracks with larger cells, slower growth and lower-energy lifestyles (powered flight favours small genomes) — yet it does not imply more genes or a more advanced organism (the long-standing C-value paradox).

07Deep time~17.1 Ma lineage
How far back this lineage goes — and how we know. Everything here is measured in Ma, short for “mega-annum”: millions of years ago. The chart reads left to right like a calendar of the Earth, from the deep past on the left to today at the right edgetop to bottom like a core drilled through the Earth, from the deep past at the top down to today at the bottom.

DNA clock origin17.1 Ma TimeTree
When this lineage existed
How to read this: the coloured strip along the bottomdown the left is the geological calendar — the standard epochs (Pliocene, Pleistocene…) every museum uses, shown so you can see which chapter of Earth's history this lineage lived in. This lineage is a young one, so the strip is zoomed in to epochs — the finer subdivisions inside a period. The orange marker is the DNA clock: DNA accumulates mutations at a roughly steady rate, so comparing this species' DNA with its relatives estimates when the lineage split off — independently of any fossil.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
