Quantitative comparison and importance of shrubby mycorrhizal fungi and Pycnoporus sanguineus in restinga areas of the Barra do Una Sustainable Development Reserve – Peruíbe/SP and Itaguaré – Bertioga/SP Patricia Nogueira, Walter Barrella

Abstract

This study quantitatively analyzes AMF (shrub microrhizoid fungi) and Pycnoporus sanguineus (wood ears) in restinga areas in the conservation units of Barra do Una – Peruíbe/SP and Praia de Itaguaré – Bertioga/SP and their main occurrence sites. It also mentions the importance of these fungi in several sectors, such as agriculture, industry and health. The analysis method chosen to measure the abundance of the species was the “transect” method, and the analysis and data collection took place in sandy soil in the driest area of ​​the restinga zone. The results obtained showed that the fungi studied follow different patterns with regard to light and humidity.
