Human Activity Impacts on Macrofungal Diversity: A Case Study of Grazing in Subtropical Forests

When goats graze in forests, they change the environment through trampling, eating plants, and leaving droppings. This study found that goat grazing actually increased the variety of mushrooms and fungi in three types of subtropical forests in China over two years. However, while there were more types of fungi overall, the special fungi unique to specific regions became less common, suggesting grazing makes fungal communities more similar across different areas.

Sulzbacheromyces sinensis, an Unexpected Basidiolichen, was Newly Discovered from Korean Peninsula and Philippines, with a Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Genus Sulzbacheromyces

This research documents the first discovery of a unique type of lichen in South Korea and the Philippines. This lichen is special because it belongs to a rare group that makes up less than 1% of all lichens. The study provides important new information about where this species can be found and how it grows throughout the year. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps scientists better understand biodiversity in Asia • Contributes to knowledge about fungal species distribution and climate adaptation • Aids in conservation efforts by documenting species ranges • Provides baseline data for monitoring environmental changes • Advances our understanding of symbiotic relationships in nature
