Fungal colonisation strategies?

[MATTMOSS]

Maybe enters through 'fresh wounds', ie. as with sapwood exposed, but I understand it to be heartwood coloniser...as Tony says.

 

cheers..

PS This is not my area of expertise, hence this caveat

 

I wasn't questioning your expertise Paul, just wondered where you got the list from and how accurate it is, It is a good quick reference.

The more one knows the less one realises one knows; that's a given. But definitives are extant in so far as they are there to be disproven which is the whole concept of testing null hypotheses.

NAture doesn't stick to definitions, and so whether something is a particular kind of coloniser is just a starter for 10. The teacher may now what he's telling you is not strictly right but that if he tried to explain why you'd never get past go.

Anthropomorphising nature and un-weaving the rainbow is the best we can do I guess. Loving this whole fungi / tree interaction vibe though ... How deep does the rabbit hole go Alice?

It has no bottom. If anyone ever gets tot teh point where they think they have fungi/tree interaction completely pegged, they can always turn their attention to the notion that trees and fungi have been interacting since long before the dawn of time (I would guess about 1,500,000,000 years) and that some fungal morphology nad strategy is a result of adaptations to tree species that are long since extinct in climates that locally no longer exist in atmospheric conditions that we would find strange today. And vice versa, trees having evolved defence mechanisms to long gone fungal species that we (thorugh the fossil record) can never know about.

 

Not only does the hole have o bottom, it has no sides either.

If you need answers for an exam, learn what the curriculum tells you the answer is. Then you can passs and spend the rest of your life qualified and find what the real answer is.

 

Brilliant advice

Brilliant advice

 

Learn the conventional, so you can dare to be unconventional.

 

My dad's advice; took a few decades to sink in...
