European mushroom assemblages are darker in cold climates

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Franz-Sebastian Krah from the Universität München, Freising, GermanyUniversity of have published the research work: European mushroom assemblages are darker in cold climates, in the Journal: Nutrition
• what: Using the average assemblage lightness, the authors show that ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic mushroom assemblages are darker in cold environments supporting the theory of thermal melanism. Since linear models are particularly sensitive to collinearity76, the authors decided to remove both precipitation components, UV and relative forest cover and considered only the thermal components which are the main focus of the study .
• how: The . . .
