Quantification of invertebrates on fungal fruit bodies by the use of time‐lapse cameras [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2023 Abstract Fungi and invertebrates comprise a major part of biodiversity in dead wood ecosystems and invertebrates depend on fungi to utilise the dead wood resource. Many invertebrates also visit the long‐lived fruit bodies of wood‐decay fungi to feed on spores, the ...

Seasonal changes in mycophagous insect communities
European Journal of Entomology, 2022 The phenology of fungal fruiting has changed in the UK over the last 70 years, but whether the associated mycophagous insects are able to exploit 'out of season' fruit bodies is unknown.

The unresolved ecological and evolutionary role of fungal fruit body coloration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Fruit body-forming fungi are hyperdiverse and of central importance for the functioning of ecosystems worldwide. They provide habitat and resources for other organisms and perform critical roles in carbon and nutrient cycling. Like in animals and plants, fungal coloration is expected to play a fundamental role in response to biotic and abiotic ...

Exploring Psilocybe spp. mycelium and fruiting body chemistry for potential therapeutic compounds
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023 Psilocybe mushrooms, otherwise known as “magic” mushrooms, owe their psychedelic effect to psilocin, a serotonin subtype 2A (5-HT2A) receptor agonist and metabolite of psilocybin, the primary indole alkaloid found in Psilocybe species. Metabolomics is an

Microbial communities associated with the black morel Morchella sextelata cultivated in greenhouses [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Morels (Morchella spp.) are iconic edible mushrooms with a long history of human consumption. Some microbial taxa are hypothesized to be important in triggering the formation of morel primordia and development of fruiting bodies, thus, there is interest ...

Deeply Embedded Corneal Foreign Bodies With Fungal Keratitis Secondary to Rambutan Fruit Fall [PDF]
Cureus, 2022 Rambutan is widely found in remote areas in Southeast Asia. It may lead to serious ocular trauma if it accidentally hits the eyes. This case report describes a patient who presented with deeply embedded cornea foreign body and fungal keratitis following direct ocular trauma by rambutan fruit.

DNA metabarcoding reveals host-specific communities of arthropods residing in fungal fruit bodies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022 Biological communities within living organisms are structured by their host's traits. How host traits affect biodiversity and community composition is poorly explored for some associations, such as arthropods within fungal fruit bodies. Using DNA metabarcoding, we characterized the arthropod communities in living fruit bodies of 11 wood-decay fungi ...
