| Abstract | To examine the effect of the spatial distribution of litter and intergeneric interaction on the spatial distribution of agaric fruiting bodies, we surveyed spatial distribution of fruiting bodies of Agaricales in a mixed forest dominated by Pinus densiflora (Sieb et Zucc.) from July 1999 to July 2002. Three 10 × 10-m plots with different vegetation and positions on a slope were established: Top-Mixed, Top-Pinus, and Bottom-Pinus. Litter thickness in the Top-Mixed plot was the thinnest among the three plots. During the study, we counted 3563 fruiting bodies in 27 genera from 13 families. The dominant genera were Collybia, Marasmius, Mycena, Rhodophyllus, and Lactarius, and showed an intrageneric aggregated distribution at a quadrat size of 1 m2. Collybia and Lactarius formed fruiting bodies in arcs. The spatial distribution of Collybia, Marasmius, and Lactarius fruiting bodies tended to overlap in two consecutive years. In the Top-Mixed plot, the number of Marasmius fruiting bodies increased with increasing litter thickness, while that of Lactarius decreased with litter thickness. Values of C′ δ indicating degree of overlap were calculated for particular pairs of dominant fungal genera and the values differed between plots and years: for example, fruiting bodies of Marasmius and Mycena in the Bottom-Pinus plot were distributed aggregately in 1999 and 2000, but randomly in 2001, while they were distributed segregatedly in the Top-Pinus plot every year. Our study suggests that the spatial distribution of fungal fruiting bodies is affected by the distribution of litter in and between plots and that fungal flora is affected by vegetation. |
