New records of aphyllophoroid fungi from Aguascalientes, Mexico and an approach to their ecological preferences
Little is known of wood-inhabiting aphyllophoroid fungi in some Mexican territories. The State of Aguascalientes is an example: there have been few records of these fungi until now. The main objective of this study is to provide a preliminary inventory of the wood-inhabiting aphyllophoroid species of the state. The fieldwork was carried out by sampling the principal plant communities during the main period of basidiomata production in 2011. A preliminary list of 81 species is presented, 55 of these recorded for the first time in the state. Additionally, a non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis was conducted to explore the fungal communities. Based on the vegetation, 3 significantly differentiated aphyllophoroid community groups were identified: temperate forests, scrublands and deciduous tropical forest. The highest species richness was found in oak forests.
