View article: Three new species in Cortinarius (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) from coniferous forests
Three new species in Cortinarius (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) from coniferous forests Open
Three new Cortinarius species from coniferous forests are formally described based on morphological characters and molecular data, and their ecology and distribution are discussed. Cortinarius minutus (section Acetosi ) is characterised by…

Use of environmental sequencing in evaluating fungal response to peatland degradation Open
Central European peatlands are critically endangered by climate change, eutrophication, disturbed water regime and inappropriate management. This leads to their degradation, which affects all components of these habitats including fungi, a…

Extracting DNA from soil or directly from isolated nematodes indicate dissimilar community structure for Europe-wide forest soils Open
Nematodes are numerous in soils and play a crucial role in soil food-webs. DNA metabarcoding offers a time-effective alternative to morphology-based assessments of nematode diversity. However, it is unclear how different DNA extraction met…

Fungal troublemakers – using indicator species with ephemeral fruitbodies to evaluate recovery of formerly extracted raised bogs Open
Including fungi into nature conservation research allows for a more comprehensive view of habitat quality thanks to their unique role in ecosystems. However, a broad application of fungi as indicators is limited mainly by the ephemeral occ…

Management After Windstorm Affects the Composition of Ectomycorrhizal Symbionts of Regenerating Trees but Not Their Mycorrhizal Networks Open
Due to ongoing climate change, forests are expected to face significant disturbances more frequently than in the past. Appropriate management is intended to facilitate forest regeneration. Because European temperate forests mostly consist …

Soil fungal communities across land use types Open
Land use change is one of the major causes of biodiversity loss, mostly due to habitat change and fragmentation. Belowground fungal diversity is very important in terrestrial ecosystems, however, the effect of land use change on soil funga…

High fungal substrate specificity limits the utility of environmental DNA to detect fungal diversity in bogs Open
Fungi are a highly diverse group of organisms and play a significant role in decomposition and carbon cycling in boreal ecosystems. To determine how fungal communities are structured in peat bogs and how to obtain representative samples fo…

Ectomycorrhizal Community on Norway Spruce Seedlings Following Bark Beetle Infestation Open
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi importantly influence seedling growth, nutrition, and survival and create an extensive mycelial network interconnecting tree species and enabling resource redistribution. Due to their symbiotic relationship with…

View article: Soil Fungal Community in Norway Spruce Forests under Bark Beetle Attack
Soil Fungal Community in Norway Spruce Forests under Bark Beetle Attack Open
Bark beetle infestation is a widespread phenomenon in temperate forests, which are facing significant weather fluctuations accompanying climate change. Fungi play key roles in forest ecosystems as symbionts of ectomycorrhizal trees, decomp…

Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Affects Ectomycorrhizal Species Abundance and Increases Sporocarp Production under Field Conditions Open
Anthropogenic activities during the last century have increased levels of atmospheric CO2. Forest net primary productivity increases in response to elevated CO2, altering the quantity and quality of carbon supplied to the rhizosphere. Ecto…
