“…We compared our results (5,428 m 2 ) with those from a biodiversity and productivity analysis made for a Swiss forest that covered 551 visits in 21 years of examination (Straatsma et al 2001; 1,500 m 2 ). In the Swiss study 71,222 sporocarps were observed representing 408 species.…”

“…The forests patches studied differed in macrofungal and plant species composition, suggesting complex spatial-temporal relationships between fungal biodiversity and vegetation, plant diversity and soils. The question remains whether it is possible to get a reliable total estimate of macrofungal diversity in such tropical habitats as even after 20 years of intense sampling in a European forest macrofungal species new to the plots still appeared (Straatsma et al 2001;Egli et al 2006). An increased future sampling effort is needed to further confirm the differences observed in the species distributions in the different forest plots.…”

“…The advantage of this method is that information on patchiness is maintained and the 'record based' rarefaction provides sufficient resolution leaving small jumps on the x-and y-axis. For comparison the randomization results of a study in a temperate Swiss forest (Straatsma et al 2001) are added (right panel)…”

Here we present the results of fungal biodiversity studies from some selected Colombian Amazon forests in relationship to plant biodiversity and successional stages after slash and burn agriculture. Macrofungal diversity was found to differ between forests occurring in two regions (Araracuara vs Amacayacu) as well as between flooded forests and terra firme forests in the Amacayacu region. Macrofungal biodiversity differed between regeneration states of different age in the Araracuara region. Suitable substrates, especially dead wood that occurred as a result of recent slash and burn agriculture, resulted in the formation of many sporocarps of wood-inhabiting species. Putative ectomycorrhizal species were found in a dipterocarp forest. Fifty two percent of the macrofungal species could not be identified to the species level, but could be assigned to a genus, and it is likely that a significant portion of these represent species new to science. Long term studies are needed to obtain a comprehensive and complete understanding of the diversity and functioning of mycobiota in Amazon forest ecosystems.

“…While interest in ftmgal biodiversity has grown in recent years, much of this interest has been centered on esdmating the total number of fungal species in the world, rather than on understanding fungal diversity on a local scale (Schmit et al, 1999). In the northern hemisphere, studies of macrofungal diversity and species richness have been conducted in both Europe (Straatsma et al, 2001;Hering, 1966;Richardson, 1970;Ohenoja, 1984) and the United States (Bills et al, 1986;Brunner and Petrini, 1992;Palmer el al, 1994;Schmit et al, 1999); however, the paucity of studies is widely recognized (Hawksworth, 2001;Straatsma et al, 2001).…”

ABSTRACT.-Macrofungi from two old-growth prairie grove remnants in the Midwestern United States (Brownfield and Trelease Woods. Champaign Co., IL ) were surveyed over two summer and fall fruiting periods. Communities of Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Myxomycètes were sampled and compared using multivariate statistical analyses. Standard estimations of species richness were calculated for comparison with other studies of fungal diversity. Environmental factors (rainfall, humidity, air temperature and soil temperature at 10 cm depth) as well as leaf litter composition, and woody plant communities were surveyed to assess their impact on fungal communities. Fungal community structure was found to differ significandy both between and within Brownfield and Trelease Woods. Communities of terrestrial macrofungi were determined to be strongly influenced by seasonality, with soil temperature at 10 cm depth showing the strongest correlation to changes in community composition. Brownfield and Trelease Woods, formerly part of a contiguous prairie grove with likely a single fungal community, are shown to have developed significantly different fungal communities over a period of separation of more than 120 y.
