From: Fungal sporocarps house diverse and host-specific communities of fungicolous fungi

Fig. 2

Box plots illustrating variation in OTU richness (A, B) and Shannon diversity (C, D) of fungicolous fungi across 11 wood-decay fungal species. For each fungal host species, 16 sporocarps were analysed (excluding two fompin samples). The black dots represent data falling outside the interquartile range while the median is indicated by the dark line. The smaller frames (down left corner) compare long- and short-lived sporocarps (A, C) and pileate and resupinate sporocarps (B, D), respectively. Statistical differences between the different categories were evaluated using a Wilcoxon test with p value < 0.05.
