“…It has already been recorded that the total number of registered macrofungal species in forests increases with increasing precipitation and air humidity [ 36 , 84 , 101 , 117 ]. Studies conducted in tropical forests in Costa Rica and Peninsular Malaysia [ 24 , 97 ] found that the number of lignicolous macrofungi increases with the increase in precipitation, air humidity, and soil moisture, which is in accordance with our results. Similarly, studies in European forests [ 35 , 101 , 118 ] found that macroclimatic factors (air temperature, precipitation, air humidity, and soil humidity) significantly affect the number of lignicolous fungi.…”

“…Experimental areas on Tara are located in protected parts of the National Park with minimal interventions (the felling of trees, the extraction of fallen logs and stumps), which resulted in higher amount of wood residues suitable for the development of lignicolous fungi. Other studies of lignicolous fungi also showed higher species richness in study sites with a higher number of tree species and less human intervention [ 42 , 43 , 87 , 97 , 101 , 102 , 103 ].…”

“…Some of the studies in Europe determined that the number of macrofungi in the protected parts of forest reserves is up to 2 × higher in relation to the number of species in forests with active forest management, as well as in coniferous plantations in a beech habitat [ 26 , 87 ]. Other studies have also showed the decline of macrofungal species related to the conversion of forest habitats [ 81 , 97 ]. Among the macrofungi observed at allochthonous coniferous forest in Vzganica (P2), only the species Amanita fulva , Amanita rubescens , Hydnum repandum , Cantharellus cibarius , Mycena galopus , Phallus impudicus , Laccaria laccata , and Hypholoma capnoides were previously found to occur with Douglas fir [ 23 , 98 , 99 ].…”

Fungal diversity is one of the most important indicators of overall forest biodiversity and its health. However, scarce information exists on the state of macrofungal communities of mountain forests in Serbia, making it one of the countries with the least-published mycological data in the Mediterranean and Balkan region of Europe. This paper presents the results of the first comprehensive, long-term study of macrofungal communities in some of the most important mountain forest ecosystems in Serbia (Tara, Kopaonik and Vidlič). In the course of three consecutive years, the sampling of five permanent experimental plots resulted in 245 species of macrofungi, classified into three functional groups (terricolous saprothrophs, lignicolous, and mycorrhizal fungi). Special attention was given to protected and indicator species, which point out the great value of studied forest habitats and the importance of their conservation. It was found that precipitation, habitat humidity, and temperature significantly influence the occurrence and distribution, primarily of mycorrhizal and lignicolous group of fungi. Thus, the continuation of long-term monitoring is crucial in order to more precisely determine which groups/species of macrofungi would, and to what extent they would, adapt to a rapidly changing climate.

“…In Indonesia, both Sumatran and Bornean orangutans (Pongo abelii, P. pygmaeus) and proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) population trends are decreasing due to the expansion of large-scale oil palm plantations [139][140][141][142][143][144]. Herds of elephants, tigers and rhinos are reported to be critically threatened due to this expansion [137,145]. In peat swamp forests, the expansion of oil palm monocultures is likely to have negative effects on, among others, macrofungal biodiversity [146].…”

With 15–20% of Indonesian oil palms located, without a legal basis and permits, within the forest zone (‘Kawasan hutan’), international concerns regarding deforestation affect the totality of Indonesian palm oil export. ‘Forest zone oil palm’ (FZ-OP) is a substantive issue that requires analysis and policy change. While spatial details of FZ-OP remain contested, we review literature on (1) the legal basis of the forest zone and its conversion, (2) social stratification in oil palm production (large-scale, plasma and independent growers), and (3) environmental consequences of forest conversion to FZ-OP, before discussing policy options in a range of social and ecological contexts. Policy options range from full regularization (as FZ-OP stands could meet international forest definitions), to conditional acceptance of diversified smallholder plantings in ‘agroforestry concessions’, to gradually phasing out FZ-OP and eviction/destruction. A nuanced and differentiated approach to FZ-OP is needed, as certification of legality along supply chains is vulnerable to illegal levies and corruption. Corporate actors trading internationally can avoid use of uncertified raw materials, effectively shifting blame and depressing farmgate prices for domestic-market palm oil, but this will not return forest conditions or stop further forest conversion. We discuss an agenda for follow-up policy research.

“…mongolica mixed forests provide a unique opportunity to investigate the fungal communities of different forest types under the same climatic conditions. Usually, Pinus species are dependent upon macrofungi in symbiotic associations, which are essential for their growth and survival [33] because symbiotic associations facilitate the trees' uptake of water and nutrients [34,35]. Some specific fungal species may be found in relatively stable Pinus forests.…”

In this paper, we analyze the macrofungi communities of five forest types in Wunvfeng National Forest Park (Jilin, China) by collecting fruiting bodies from 2019–2021. Each forest type had three repeats and covered the main habitats of macrofungi. In addition, we evaluate selected environmental variables and macrofungi communities to relate species composition to potential environmental factors. We collected 1235 specimens belonging to 283 species, 116 genera, and 62 families. We found that Amanitaceae, Boletaceae, Russulaceae, and Tricholomataceae were the most diverse family; further, Amanita, Cortinarius, Lactarius, Russula, and Tricholoma were the dominant genera in the area. The macrofungi diversity showed increasing trends from Pinus koraiensis Siebold et Zuccarini forests to Quercus mongolica Fischer ex Ledebour forests. The cumulative species richness was as follows: Q. mongolica forest A > broadleaf mixed forest B > Q. mongolica, P. koraiensis mix forest D (Q. mongolica was the dominant species) > Q. mongolica and P. koraiensis mix forest C (P. koraiensis was the dominant species) > P. koraiensis forest (E). Ectomycorrhizal fungi were the dominant functional group; they were mainly in forest type A and were influenced by soil moisture content and Q. mongolica content (p < 0.05). The wood-rotting fungus showed richer species diversity than other forest types in broadleaf forests A and B. Overall, we concluded that most fungal communities preferred forest types with a relatively high Q. mongolica content. Therefore, the deliberate protection of Q. mongolica forests proves to be a better strategy for maintaining fungal diversity in Wunvfeng National Forest Park.
