Global analysis reveals an environmentally driven latitudinal pattern in mushroom size across fungal species Open
Although macroecology is a well‐established field, much remains to be learned about the large‐scale variation of fungal traits. We conducted a global analysis of mean fruit body size of 59 geographical regions worldwide, comprising 5340 fu…

Handbook for the measurement of macrofungal functional traits: A start with basidiomycete wood fungi Open
Functional traits are widely recognized as a useful framework for testing mechanisms underlying species community assemblage patterns and ecosystem processes. Functional trait studies in the plant and animal literature have burgeoned in th…

Isotopic evidence of biotrophy and unusual nitrogen nutrition in soil‐dwelling Hygrophoraceae Open
Summary Several lines of evidence suggest that the agaricoid, non‐ectomycorrhizal members of the family Hygrophoraceae (waxcaps) are biotrophic with unusual nitrogen nutrition. However, methods for the axenic culture and lab‐based study of…

Small can be beautiful: Ecological trade-offs related to basidiospore size Open
Investments of Agaricomycetes in morphological reproductive traits are constrained by a limited energy budget, as in any other fungal group.Such investments relate to fruit body size and number, and to spore size, the latter which is corre…

Some ecological implications of Agaricomycete phenology Open
Macrofungi, and specifically Agaricomycetes, are important drivers for nutrient partitioning and cyling in terrestrial ecosystems and other ecosystem processes.Fruiting patterns of saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal taxa bear implications fo…

Windows of opportunity: fruiting phenology and size of mushrooms Open
The phenology of Agaricomycete fruiting is largely genetically determined, but modulated by climate and annual weather patterns.Thus, dispersal, and finally reproduction, are speciesspecifically optimised.Mean fruit body mass is another sp…

Mean reproductive traits of fungal assemblages are correlated with resource availability Open
Organisms have evolved a fascinating variety of strategies and organs for successful reproduction. Fruit bodies are the reproductive organ of fungi and vary considerably in size and shape among species. Our understanding of the mechanisms …
