Abstract
The relationship between aquatic environmental DNA (eDNA) assemblages in rivers and the surrounding terrestrial fungal communities has been poorly investigated. Here, we focused on fungi that form soft sporocarps (soft fungi). Two years of sporocarp and aquatic eDNA sampling were conducted at a fragmented forest site, and the soft-fungal assemblages and their temporal dynamics were compared between these two sample types. Aquatic eDNA yielded approximately 1.5 times the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) compared to sporocarps and covered approximately half of the OTUs from sporocarp samples. Lineages that seldom form sporocarps or form inconspicuous sporocarps were successfully detected from aquatic eDNA. Although the OTU composition differed between sporocarp and aquatic eDNA, their temporal dynamics were similar, with both showing a 1-year periodicity. Aquatic eDNA provides insights into fungal diversity and temporal dynamics, but does not fully reflect terrestrial fungi diversity.
期刊介绍:
Fungal Ecology publishes investigations into all aspects of fungal ecology, including the following (not exclusive): population dynamics; adaptation; evolution; role in ecosystem functioning, nutrient cycling, decomposition, carbon allocation; ecophysiology; intra- and inter-specific mycelial interactions, fungus-plant (pathogens, mycorrhizas, lichens, endophytes), fungus-invertebrate and fungus-microbe interaction; genomics and (evolutionary) genetics; conservation and biodiversity; remote sensing; bioremediation and biodegradation; quantitative and computational aspects - modelling, indicators, complexity, informatics. The usual prerequisites for publication will be originality, clarity, and significance as relevant to a better understanding of the ecology of fungi.
