“…This result confirms a link between vegetative growth in spring and fruiting in autumn (Hueck, 1953;Ellenberg et al, 1986) but shows that vegetative development in spring and the factors that favor it do not determine productivity. This analysis also showed a close relationship between the fruiting process in wood saprotroph species and seasonal rainfall and temperature.…”

“…Some differences that could not always be attributed to weather were nevertheless found during the main production period and from year to year. The modest fruiting observed in spring (maximum 20 species in St. 10), when conditions are generally similar to those typical of autumn, is in line with the hypothesis of Hueck (1953) and Ellenberg (1986) that before fruiting, most fungal mycelia require a period of vegetative growth, the ideal conditions for which occur in spring. This hypothesis was demonstrated in the laboratory by Witkamp (1960) andNagel-de Boois andJansen (1971), who observed a peak of mycelial growth in spring.…”

The results of a study on the effects of weather (rainfall and minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures) on fruiting of macrofungi in a number of oak forests of Tuscany (central Italy) are reported. The fungal parameters (total number of species and total number of carpophores) were examined for statistical correlations with annual and seasonal temperature and rainfall and with temperature and rainfall in the 5-, 10-, 15-, and 30-day periods before the date of the sampling. It was found that abundant annual rainfall was necessary for the fungal mycelium to fruit. Spring rainfall in particular seemed to be related to the number of species found in autumn. Rainfall was the main influence on fruiting in the most important fruiting period (autumn). Highly significant correlations were found between the number of carpophores and rainfall in the 30 days preceding sampling.

“…Synecology of macrofungi has been investigated mostly by European mycologists (Cooke 1948, 1979, Hueck 1953, Apinis 1972, Darimont 1973. Many of these studies were inspired by the "floristic-sociological approach" that had been developed with vascular plants.…”

To understand the factors that structure ectomycorrhizal—basidiomycete communities at a local scale, we measured the strength of the relations among the fungal communities, the tree communities, and the environment of a series of forest ecosystems in southern Quebec. We collected fruit bodies belonging to ectomycorrhizal—basidiomycete families and genera, sampled the woody vegetation, and described soils and landforms at 11 permanent sampling stations. We first calculated similarity matrices among stations, one for each descriptor (fungal species abundance, woody species abundance, and abiotic variables). We then explored the dependence among these matrices using Mantel and partial Mantel tests, path analysis, and comparisons of ordinations and classifications. Similarity among ectomycorrhizal fungus communities was strongly and significantly correlated with tree community similarity, even when controlling for the effect of environmental similarity. When the tests were made with a similarity matrix based on those tree species that are known to be hosts of ectomycorrhizal fungi, abiotic similarity explained a significant portion of the residual variation in the similarity among fungus communities. To explore this complex relationship further, we analyzed species associations. The preference of fungus associations for different sets of abiotic conditions showed that some factors affecting fungal species distribution were different from those affecting the distribution of their tree hosts. Direct and indirect gradient analyses showed that humus characteristics seemed to be important niche dimensions of ectomycorrhizal fungi. The continuum concept was useful to interpret the complex relations among symbiotic species. Trees were the main component of the realized niche of ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycetes, but the fungal symbionts of a particular tree species followed that tree species for only a part of the abiotic gradients over which the host tree was found. This type of distribution predicts that beta diversity of fungi would be generally higher than beta diversity of ectomycorrhizae—forming trees. It also means that the ratio of fungus species richness to woody species richness would be high for most community gradients. Our results and those of previous mycosynecological studies agree with these predictions. The results have implications for the conservation of biodiversity: site selection for conservation based on vegetation classification or mapping, or on distribution of tree species, may miss important fungal species.

“…Names of fungal species and author's abbreviations were annotated using the Index Fungorum database (http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp, Accessed 12 Nov 2017). All unidentified species but identified to the genus level were numbered and indicated “sp.” Fungal species richness was calculated as the number of fungal species collected from each type of forest (Baptista, Martins, & Tavares, ; Caiafa, Gomez‐Hernandez, Williams‐Linera, & Ramírez‐Cruz, ; Hueck, ). The diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi based on species richness was determined using the Shannon (H) index (Fisher, Corbet, & Williams, ).…”

Ectomycorrhizal fungi constitute an important component of forest ecosystems that enhances plant nutrition and resistance against stresses. Diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi is, however, affected by host plant diversity and soil heterogeneity. This study provides information about the influence of host plants and soil resources on the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal fruiting bodies from rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the presence of fungal fruiting bodies, significant differences in the number of ectomycorrhizal fungi species existed between forest stand types (p < 0.001). The most ectomycorrhizal species‐rich forest was the Gilbertiodendron dewevrei‐dominated forest (61 species). Of all 93 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, 19 demonstrated a significant indicator value for particular forest stand types. Of all analysed edaphic factors, the percentage of silt particles was the most important parameter influencing EcM fungi host plant tree distribution. Both host trees and edaphic factors strongly affected the distribution and diversity of EcM fungi. EcM fungi may have developed differently their ability to successfully colonise root systems in relation to the availability of nutrients.
