The consumption of fungi by animals is a significant trophic interaction in most terrestrial
ecosystems, yet the role mammals play in these associations has been incompletely …

Fungi are diverse organisms that occupy important niches in natural settings and agricultural
settings, acting as decomposers, mutualists, and parasites and pathogens. Interactions …

Truffles in the genus Tuber produce subterranean fruiting bodies that are not able to actively
discharge their spores in the environment. For this reason, truffles depend on mycophagous …

Despite the importance of mammal‐fungal interactions, tools to estimate the mammal‐
assisted dispersal distances of fungi are lacking. Many mammals actively consume fungal …

Nonstaple food is a food resource which sole consumption does not allow the maintenance
of regular physiological functions, thus constituting a minor portion of an individual's diet …

The icon ectomycorrhizal (EcM) species, Tuber melanosporum, requires mycophagy for
ascospore dispersal. Isopods are often found within fruitbodies and to explore why, Oniscus …

Cortinarius is a species-rich ectomycorrhizal genus containing taxa that exhibit agaricoid or
sequestrate basidiome morphologies. In New Zealand, one of the most recognizable and …

Context Many mycorrhizal fungi are vital to nutrient acquisition in plant communities, and
some taxa are reliant on animal-mediated dispersal. The majority of animals that disperse …

Rodents are the most widespread and diverse order of vertebrate mycophagists and are key
to the dispersal of mycorrhizal fungi. Rodents consume and subsequently disperse fungi …

Little is known about the diets and ecology of New Guinea's 14 bandicoot species. In order
to better understand the diet and digestive morphology of these marsupials, we reviewed the …
