The influence of intercropping Paris polyphylla with Polygonatum cyrtonema or Ganoderma lucidum on rhizosphere soil microbial community structure and quality of Paris polyphylla

Researchers studied how planting Paris polyphylla (a rare medicinal plant) together with other plants affects soil health and medicine quality. Growing P. polyphylla alone caused problems like soil nutrient depletion and harmful microorganism growth. When grown alongside Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms or Polygonatum cyrtonema plants, the soil became healthier with better nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. This resulted in higher yields and better quality medicinal compounds in the P. polyphylla.

Temporal changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities and their driving factors in Xanthoceras sorbifolium plantations

This study examined how fungal communities associated with plant roots change as Xanthoceras sorbifolium tree plantations age from 5 to 56 years old. Researchers found that these beneficial fungi form strong partnerships with the trees at all ages, with the dominant fungus Glomus gradually becoming more abundant over time. The composition and diversity of these fungal communities are primarily influenced by soil properties like pH and carbon content, as well as by characteristics of plant roots and decomposing leaf litter.

Soil Fungal Diversity and Community Structure of Russula griseocarnosa from Different Sites

Researchers studied the soil fungi living around Russula griseocarnosa, a valuable wild edible mushroom that cannot be grown in farms. They found that the soil around this mushroom contains specific beneficial fungi like Penicillium and Trichoderma that help it grow, and that these fungal communities differ depending on geographical location. The study shows that using fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and beneficial fungi could help protect and increase the production of this wild mushroom.
