“…Moreover, multivariate statistics have shown that macrofungal communities can be clearly defined and delineated from the abundance patterns of their host tree species in temperate forests (Humphrey et al 2000, Ferris et al 2000, Buée et al 2011, O'Hanlon & Harrington 2012. In this study, EMF were associated with woody plants, including not only trees but also aged shrubs (taller than 2m).…”

“…Functionally wild mushrooms are categorized as saprophytes, that obtain nutrients from dead organic materials; parasitic which depend on living plants and mycorrhizal, that form associations with host plants from which each partner gets benefits from each other (Ferris et al, 2000).…”

Aim of study: To review and provide all-purpose information about wild mushrooms in Ethiopia and to create awareness for conservation and use of mycological resources.Area of study: We focused mainly on Ethiopia, where information about wild mushrooms is scanty and their status is unknown under the rampant degradation of the habitats.Main results: We reviewed all relevant references related to wild mushrooms and their ecological niches, cultural practices and species used for cultivation as well as the anthropogenic factors affecting the conservation of fungal diversity.Research highlights: This review summarizes issues related to the diversity of wild mushrooms, the main ecological niches and their associated fungal species, and mushroom cultivation practices in Ethiopia. Moreover, threats and the need for future conservation of wild mushrooms in the country are also reported. This review paper can serve as base line information and indicator for further mycological studies in Ethiopia as well as in other developing countries with similar scenarios.

“…It is one of the most relevant components of forest biodiversity, and it represents an important forest carbon pool (Stokland et al 2004, Woodall et al 2009). Dead trees, stumps, and fine and coarse woody debris (CWD) are essential to forest ecosystem dynamics by providing food and habitat for taxa such as fungi, arthropods, birds, insects, and epiphytic lichens (Sippola and Renvall 1999, Bowman et al 2000, Ferris et al 2000, Siitonen et al 2000, Similä et al 2003, Jonsson et al 2005, Odor et al 2006, Londsale et al 2008, Winter and Möller 2008. Approximately 20 -25% of forest species depend on decaying wood (Boddy 2001, Siitonen 2001, although decayed material is often viewed as a limited habitat resource for some organisms (Hagen and Grove 1999).…”

Abstract:Deadwood plays an important role in forest ecological processes and is fundamental for the maintenance of biological diversity. Further, it is a forest carbon pool whose assessment must be reported for international agreements dealing with protection and forest management sustainability. Despite wide agreement on deadwood monitoring by national forest inventories (NFIs), much work is still necessary to clarify definitions so that estimates can be directly compared or aggregated for international reporting. There is an urgent need for an international consensus on definitions and agreement on harmonization methods. The study addresses two main objectives: to analyze the feasibility of harmonization procedures for deadwood estimates and to evaluate the impact of the harmonization process based on different definitions on final deadwood estimates. Results are reported for an experimental harmonization test using NFI deadwood data from 9,208 sample plots measured in nine European countries and the United States. Harmonization methods were investigated for volume by spatial position (lying or standing), decay classes, and woody species accompanied by accuracy assessments. Estimates of mean plot volume based on harmonized definitions with minimum length/height of 1 m and minimum diameter thresholds of 10, 12, and 20 cm were on average 3, 8, and 30% smaller, respectively, than estimates based on national definitions. Volume differences were less when estimated for various deadwood categories. An accuracy assessment demonstrated that, on average, the harmonization procedures did not substantially alter deadwood observations (root mean square error 23.17%). FOR. SCI. 58(3):269 -283.
