Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Pellets of introduced deer and possum contained spores and DNA of native and non-native ectomycorrhizal fungi.
- Intervention effect Faecal pellets from both animals resulted in ectomycorrhizal infection of pine seedlings with Rhizopogon and Suillus.
- Intervention effect Faecal pellets did not result in ectomycorrhizal infection of pine seedlings with Amanita muscaria.
- Observation Video and DNA evidence showed that the animals consumed these ectomycorrhizal fungi.
- Association Introduced mammals from Australia and Europe facilitate the co-invasion of invasive North American trees and Northern Hemisphere fungi in New Zealand.
- Intervention effect No evidence was found that introduced mammals benefit native trees or fungi.
