Fungi are some of the most diverse organisms on earth and since prehistoric times have
played an important role in human society. In recent years they have become a strategic …

Ethiopian forests are rich in valuable types of non-wood forest products, including
mushrooms. However, despite their nutritional, economic, and ecological importance, wild …

Fungal communities are especially relevant in Mediterranean regions, a 'hotspot'of fungal
diversity, and where the value of edible commercial sporocarps may be much higher than …

Although it is logical to think that mycorrhizal mushroom production should be somehow
related to the growth of the trees from which the fungi obtain carbohydrates, little is known …

Fungal communities associated to conifers have been typically studied in temperate conifer
forests, but little is known about tropical habitats. The present study examined the …

Despite the assumption that mushroom fruiting is dependent on climate conditions, recent
changes in temperature and precipitation regimes in Mediterranean-type ecosystems have …

This study is conducted in the short-rotation plantations from the Afromontane Region of
Ethiopia. Sporocarps were sampled weekly in a set of permanent plots (100 m2) in young …

Long-term field-data series were used to fit a mushroom productivity model. Simulations
enabled us to predict the consequences of management and climate scenarios on potential …

Forest fungi provide recreational and economic services, as well as ecosystem biodiversity.
Wild mushroom yields are difficult to estimate; climatic conditions are known to trigger …

Mediterranean Cistus ladanifer scrublands can provide an important fungal production, often
in high demand. However, due to the pyrophytic characteristics of this species, forest fires …
