To reconstruct the initial mode of reproduction of the populations, 37 peridia were collected following a geometric sampling design, with 8-10 peridia collected 6-222 cm apart from each of four fence segments. We cultured dikaryotic mycelium from one whole peridiole from each peridium and 105 monokaryons from basidiospores from 8 peridioles. We then tested mycelial compatibility by confronting pairs of dikaryons and sexual compatibility by mating the monokaryons from basidiospores. The resulting genetic patterns allowed us to map genetic individuals back to their fence segments. The dikaryotic mycelia that grew from whole peridioles fell into six mycelial compatibility groups, with one or two groups per 3-7 m fence segment. Consistent with an outcrossing origin, four different mycelial compatibility groups had different mating types. The largest compatibility group covered over 6 m of fence, producing 114 peridia and ~4.2 billion spores. One compatibility group was present at two fence sites ~40 m apart, suggesting asexual dispersal. This can potentially be explained by somatic growth from the walls of dispersed peridioles. Dikaryons generated by mating sibling monokaryons isolated from basidiospores from the same peridiole showed mycelial incompatibility in 86% of pairings. Thus, the compatible dikaryotic mycelia emerging from whole peridioles likely represent clones of parental mycelium rather than recombinant meiotic hyphae from basidiospores. Asexual reproduction from dispersed fruit body tissue is unusual in Agaricales, but in N. candida fence-hopping of peridioles splashed from peridia and germinating as clonal, parental-type dikaryotic mycelia may have contributed to expansion of a genet along the fence.","PeriodicalId":18779,"journal":{"name":"Mycologia","volume":" ","pages":"270-283"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this study was to gain a better understanding of the fungal interactions inside the L. fuliginosus nests as well as of potential interactions around the nests, including the effects of Armillaria mellea-a root-rot fungus infecting potential host trees. We performed two types of confrontation experiments on Petri dishes between the isolated nest fungi and A. mellea. Firstly, using de Wit experiments, we tested the fungal species in pairwise combinations at three different initial confrontation concentrations. Secondly, a linear confrontation setup focused on differences in directional growth of the fungal species in pairwise combinations as well as on the development of A. mellea rhizomorphs. For the fungi SP1, SP5, and SP4, we found positive influences on each other (SP1 on SP5, SP4 on SP1 and SP5, and SP5 on SP1) alongside no influence (SP1 on SP4, SP5 on SP4). SP1 had a significantly negative impact on the surface growth and directional growth of A. mellea, and SP5 triggered the strongest rhizomorph development of A. mellea, possibly a stress reaction of the root-rot fungus. Armillaria mellea did not negatively impact any of the nest fungi and even promoted the surface growth of SP1. The de Wit setup and the linear setup turned out to be complementary and together facilitated first insights into potential roles of the nest fungi in this association of ants and fungi in trees. Follow-up studies will need to assess how these findings under Petri dish conditions transfer to conditions in natural habitat, in the presence of both the ant and the tree host.","PeriodicalId":18779,"journal":{"name":"Mycologia","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145669053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
