“…Fungi contribute to nutrient cycling by acting as saprotrophs and establishing mutualistic or parasitic relationships with other groups of organisms (Mueller et al ., 2007; Tang et al ., 2015). Many fungi – particularly those that can establish ectomycorrhizal symbiosis – produce macroscopic reproductive structures, with fruiting bodies of fleshy texture that are often referred to as mushrooms (Kües and Liu, 2000; Moore et al ., 2008).…”

Mushroom-forming fungi are important sources of food and medicine in many regions of the world, and their development and health are known to depend on various microbes. Recent studies have examined the structure of mushroom-inhabiting bacterial (MIB) communities and their association with local environmental variables, but global-scale diversity and determinants of these communities remain poorly understood. Here we examined the MIB global diversity and community composition in relation to climate, soil and host factors. We found a core global mushroom microbiome, accounting for 30% of sequence reads, while comprising a few bacterial genera such as Halomonas, Serratia, Bacillus, Cutibacterium, Bradyrhizobium and Burkholderia. Our analysis further revealed an important role of host phylogeny in shaping the communities of MIB, whereas the effects of climate and soil factors remained negligible. The results suggest that the communities of MIB and free-living bacteria are structured by contrasting community assembly processes and that fungal-bacterial interactions are an important determinant of MIB community structure.

“…Macrofungus is a major component of the fungal kingdom. This group of fungi plays important roles in the wider natural ecosystem, including as decomposers and food sources for animals (Tan et al 2015). Ecologically, macrofungus can be classified into three major groups: saprophytes, parasites, and symbiotic species.…”

Abstract. Yusran Y, Erniwati E, Wahyuni D, Ramadhanil R, Khumaidi A. 2021. Diversity of macro fungus across three altitudinal ranges in Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia and their utilization by local residents. Biodiversitas 22: 199-210. A large amount of biodiversity research has been carried out in Lore Lindu National Park, a major biodiversity center in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, but none have investigated the biodiversity of macrofungi and their traditional utilization. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the diversity of macro fungus in Lore Lindu National Park, and to identify their potential uses as food sources and medicinal uses by the local residents living around Lore Lindu National Park. Exploration of macrofungus species in Lore Lindu National Park was done at three locations representing three altitudinal ranges: (i) <500 m above sea level (asl); (ii) 500–1500 m asl; and >1500 m asl. Ten plots were placed in two major lines with a 100 m distance between plots in each sampling location. All macrofungi within the observation plots were then documented and identified. Ethnomycological studies were done by asking questionnaire to selective respondents, group discussion, and pictorial presentation studies to random respondents in five villages located in the buffer zone of the national park area. This study found 172 species (including unidentified species/sp.) from 33 families of macro fungus in Lore Lindu National Park in which 159 of them belong to the Basidiomycota division, while 13 of them were of the Ascomycota division. Our results also showed varying diversity of macrofungus at different altitudes. At the elevation of <500 m asl, as many 77 species were found, while 117 and 142 species were found at the elevation of 500-1500 and >1500 m asl, respectively. Marasmius spp and Hygrocybe spp were the most abundant genera, and nine species (i.e. Schizophyllum commune, Termytomyces sp, Auricularia auricular-judge, Auricularia sp., Pleurotus ostreatus, Ganoderma lucidum, Xylaria sp., Agaricus sp. dan Lentinus sajor-caju) were utilized as a food source and in traditional medicine by the residents around the national park area.

“…The invertebrates receive the benefits of a food source from the stinkhorn and are essential to the spread and maintenance of genetic diversity as they move from one mushroom to the next. The role of invertebrates in stinkhorn reproduction is comparable to the mutually beneficial behavior of bees foraging on nectar of multiple flowers and spreading pollen from flower to flower (Xiaozhao et al 2015). However, ecological interactions between invertebrates and stinkhorns remain poorly known and deserve further study.…”

“You’ll smell them before you see them!” is a common statement of caution experienced mushroom foragers will tell you when discussing stinkhorn mushrooms. Stinkhorns give off a strong, offensive rotting odor. The odor is typically described as smelling of rotting dung or carrion or a combination of the two. Many stinkhorns have a phallic appearance, which has led to their inclusion in different folklore and cultural superstitions worldwide. In fact, the taxonomic name for this group is the Phallales in reference to their phallic appearance, and one common genus in this group of fungi is the genus Phallus. Their common name is derived from stink (for the foul smell they emit) and horn (for the shape of the mature fruiting body). Stinkhorns are not considered poisonous. However, if there are concerns about a child or pet eating a stinkhorn, refer to the photos and figures in this document to be sure that the mushroom which was ingested is a stinkhorn. When in doubt about an ingested fungus in the state of Florida contact the American Association of Poison Control Centers hotline 1(800) 222-1222 or Dr. Matthew E. Smith (trufflesmith@ufl.edu, 352-273-2837).
