Fungal Wars Effects of Nutrient Environment on Soil Fungal Interactions
This study investigates the underlying mechanisms of the ‘Gadgil effect’, a phenomenon where competition between ectomycorrhizal (EM) and saprotrophic fungi suppresses the growth of saprotrophic fungi. The findings showed that nutritional conditions and fungal habitats significantly influence fungal interactions and their outcomes. Under conditions of both nitrogen-rich and scarce environments, EM
