Mountains and mushrooms: adaptations and altitudinal distribution
The mountain environment represents one of the most fascinating and complex ecosystems for the study of mycology. As altitude increases, fungi develop unique adaptation strategies to survive extreme conditions: cold temperatures, wind, intense UV radiation, and nutrient-poor substrates. Let's discover together what...
