The leaf litter decomposition zone of forest soils is generally considered as the primary microhabitat for dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids), but these organisms also occur in other types of soils and are sometimes coprophilous. The occurrence of dictyostelids in ...

In orchids, most of the root-associated fungal endophytes remain undescribed as well as the drivers that affect their interactions with the plants. We characterized root-associated fungal endophytes of coexisting orchids across sites in two areas of montane rainforest in the sout...

We used natural abundance C-13:C-12 (delta C-13) and 8 yr of labeling with C-13-depleted CO2 in a Pinus taeda Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment to investigate carbon sources of saprotrophic fungi, ectomycorrhizal fungi, and fungi of uncertain life history. Sporocarp delta...

We review the state of fungal conservation in Europe. Despite a large public interest in fungi, they are often insufficiently considered in the conservation initiatives of most countries and not adequately heeded in international biodiversity agreements. We attribute this to the ...

Fungal conservation emerged in the 1980s when mycologists gained considerable insight into fluctuations and trends in fungal populations throughout Europe and the United States of America.Concerns arose over the possible decline of many macrofungi and likely consequences for ecos...

Ambrosia fungi are a polyphyletic group from currently seven ascomycete and basidiomycete lineages that independently evolved an obligate farming mutualism with wood-boring weevils. One long known, but understudied, association is the mutualism between the scolytine beetle genus ...

Concerted efforts by many researchers over a century made Neurospora crassa an attractive fungus to address many biological questions. However, we have a relatively poor knowledge of the organism’s natural habitat and its life history. In an effort to expand our understanding of ...

Although the anthropogenic decline in atmospheric carbon stable isotope ratios (613C) over the last 150 years (termed the Suess effect) is well-studied, how different terrestrial trophic levels and modes reflect this decline remains unresolved. To evaluate the Suess effect as an ...

Fungi that inhabit forest topsoil can be distinguished into two morphological guilds: filamentous, multicellular fungi and predominantly unicellular yeasts. The nutritional mode of these two groups is expected to differ due to the dependence of yeasts on locally present nutrients...

Epiphytic lichens can contribute significantly to ecosystem nutrient input because they efficiently accumulate atmospheric mineral nutrients and, in the case of cyanolichens, also fix nitrogen. The rate at which carbon and other nutrients gained by lichens enters the ecosystem is...
