“…All of the major EM fungal clades sensu Tedersoo et al (2010b) encountered in this study have been reported previously in both temperate and tropical EM fungi inventories (Peay et al 2010;Smith et al 2011;Tedersoo et al 2011;Phosri et al 2012;Diédhiou et al 2014). Members of the /russula-lactarius, / cortinarius, and /tomentella-thelephora lineages were particularly abundant, accounting for 72 % of OTUs.…”

“…Members of the /russula-lactarius, / cortinarius, and /tomentella-thelephora lineages were particularly abundant, accounting for 72 % of OTUs. An overall dominance by Russula has been found in other above-and belowground EM fungal inventories in tropical forests (Peay et al 2010;Smith et al 2011;Tedersoo et al 2011;Henkel et al 2012;Phosri et al 2012;Diédhiou et al 2014), suggesting that this is an important taxonomic group to focus on in future biogeographic and systematics-based studies.…”

“…For example, the high relative abundance of the Russulales and Thelophorales in the forest EcM fungal communities appears to be a generalized phenomenon, as these lineages are also abundant in other tropical EcM surveys from the Neotropics and the African tropics [85][86][87], as well as in temperate and boreal EcM forests [57,88]. In other studies from dipterocarp forests, the Russulales and Thelophorales were prevalent in root tips [34,89,90], and the Russulales were abundant in sporocarp surveys, implying some correspondence in taxonomic composition between bulk soil, root tip, and fruiting body data. The reasons for the success of these EcM fungal lineages have not been determined but may be related to high diversity in their foraging strategies [91] and enzymatic functions [92].…”

Responses of Soil Fungi to Logging and Oil Palm Agriculture in Southeast Asian Tropical Forests

et al. 2014

Human land use alters soil microbial composition and function in a variety of systems, although few comparable studies have been done in tropical forests and tropical agricultural production areas. Logging and the expansion of oil palm agriculture are two of the most significant drivers of tropical deforestation, and the latter is most prevalent in Southeast Asia. The aim of this study was to compare soil fungal communities from three sites in Malaysia that represent three of the most dominant land-use types in the Southeast Asia tropics: a primary forest, a regenerating forest that had been selectively logged 50 years previously, and a 25-year-old oil palm plantation. Soil cores were collected from three replicate plots at each site, and fungal communities were sequenced using the Illumina platform. Extracellular enzyme assays were assessed as a proxy for soil microbial function. We found that fungal communities were distinct across all sites, although fungal composition in the regenerating forest was more similar to the primary forest than either forest community was to the oil palm site. Ectomycorrhizal fungi, which are important associates of the dominant Dipterocarpaceae tree family in this region, were compositionally distinct across forests, but were nearly absent from oil palm soils. Extracellular enzyme assays indicated that the soil ecosystem in oil palm plantations experienced altered nutrient cycling dynamics, but there were few differences between regenerating and primary forest soils. Together, these results show that logging and the replacement of primary forest with oil palm plantations alter fungal community and function, although forests regenerating from logging had more similarities with primary forests in terms of fungal composition and nutrient cycling potential. Since oil palm agriculture is currently the mostly rapidly expanding equatorial crop and logging is pervasive across tropical ecosystems, these findings may have broad applicability.

“…Recent researches investigated the ectomycorrhizal fungal species in tropical zones and found abundant ectomycorrhizal fungal communities below the ground (Buyck et al 1996; Lee et al 1997; Riviere et al 2007; Phosri et al 2012; Osmundson et al 2013). Indeed, species in family Russulaceae are now considered one of the most dominant ectomycorrhizal fungal groups in the tropics.…”

“…Indeed, species in family Russulaceae are now considered one of the most dominant ectomycorrhizal fungal groups in the tropics. Many novel species of Russula have been reported recently from tropical zones (Riviere et al 2007; Phosri et al 2012; Osmundson et al 2013). The type genus Russula is the most specious genus in family Russulaceae and was first established based on the studies of macro fungi in northern Europe.…”

The mushroom genus Russula is among the largest and morphologically most diverse basidiomycete genera in the world. They are broadly distributed both geographically and ecologically, forming ectomycorrhizal relationships with a diversity of plants. Aside from their ecological roles, some Russula species are gourmet mushrooms. Therefore, understanding their population biology and fundamental life history processes are important for illustrating their ecological roles and for developing effective conservation and utilization strategies. Here, we review recent population genetic and molecular ecological studies of Russula. We focus on issues related to genet sizes, modes of reproduction, population structures, and roles of geography on their genetic relationships. The sampling strategies, molecule markers, and analytical approaches used in these studies will also be discussed. Our review suggests that in Russula, genets are typically small, local recombination is frequent, and that long-distance spore dispersal is relatively uncommon. We finish by discussing several long-standing issues as well as future trends with regard to life history and evolution of this important group of mushrooms.
