Macro Fungi Species Richness Between Two Oak Tree Species (Quercus Insignis And Quercus Corrugata), August 2012, Victoria La Rocca
Tropical Ecology and Conservation [Monteverde Institute]
Oak tree species (Quercus spp.) have been known to host a variety of fungi on several different substrates. This study compared the macro fungi species richness between the oak tree species, Quercus corrugata and Quercus insignis. These species are found at different elevations ranging below1 700m, as well as different substrates; including acorns, soil, roots, and leaf litter. A total of 30 trees were surveyed along the ridges and peaks on the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in Costa Rica. Each tree contained several different species of fungi, some overlapping, some repetitive, and some unique. The fungi were identified using photographs, …
