Differences in mushroom color lightness between nutritional modes. a Phylogenetic distribution of saprotrophic (blue) and ectomycorrhizal fungal species (orange). Boxplot shows the lightness of the two nutritional modes of fungi (ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi) and the test results based on phylogenetic linear regression (model Lambda; z-value = 4.06; p-value < 0.001; Supplementary Table 2). b Difference in the assemblage-based average mushroom color lightness between saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungi (for linear mixed effects model, Supplementary Table 3), and subdivided for each month of the year. Boxplots denote the median (horizontal line) and interquartile range (colored box); whiskers show three times the interquartile range; points indicate values outside this range. Source data underlying panel a are provided in Supplementary Data 1, 2, and 3 and source data underlying panel b are provided in Supplementary Data 4
