Introduction “La Malinche” volcano (altitude 4460 m) is one of the most important mountains in central M´ exico. Located in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, in the southern part of the state of Tlaxcala, it has been considered one of its eldest mountains (INEGI 1986). Most of its forests are protected as a National Park. However, timber and nontimber forest prod- ucts are extracted as part of the subsistence strategy of local communities. People gather firewood, edible and medicinal plants, seeds, and moss and mushrooms and hunt small preys [1]. 226 species of macromycetes have been listed [2], 93 of which are used by local people as food, fuel, cosmetics, medicines, and insecticides [2, 3]. In the surroundings of La Malinche, there are 236 villages [4], some inhabited by Nahua and Otom´ ı indigenous descendants and others settled by mestizo people. In consequence, East and West forests are under different management practices [5]. In many of these localities, Amanita basii, Lyophyllum decastes, and Boletus pinophilus are the species with the highest cultural significance (cultural significance refers to the importance of the role that the organism plays within a particular culture [6]) [5]. As a preliminary suggestion, it has been proposed that both fruit body abundance and price are related to the cultural significance of species. Montoya et al. [7] found a negative correlation between the fruit body abundance and the mention frequency, suggesting that the most valued resources are not always the most abundant.

1 Introduction

ldquoLa Malincherdquo volcano (altitude 4460m) is one of the mostimportant mountains in central Mexico Located in theTrans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in the southern part of thestate of Tlaxcala it has been considered one of its eldestmountains (INEGI 1986)Most of its forests are protected as aNational Park However timber and nontimber forest prod-ucts are extracted as part of the subsistence strategy of localcommunities People gather firewood edible and medicinalplants seeds andmoss andmushrooms and hunt small preys[1] 226 species of macromycetes have been listed [2] 93 ofwhich are used by local people as food fuel cosmeticsmedicines and insecticides [2 3] In the surroundings of

It has been proposed that the volcano is regionalizedinto two cultural areas based on the different valuations ofmushroom speciesThere are several differences in the uses ofthe forest In Javier Mina a community located on Southeastslope of the volcano 735of the total population collects andsells mushrooms every year [4 5] In the Southwest slopein San Isidro Buensuceso 21 from a total of 220 personssell wild mushrooms [4 5] Available information showsthat mushrooms are used and granted value by people fromboth slopes however the use and importance of particularspecies are different in both sidesNevertheless there is scarceinformation about ecology parameters such as the fruit bodyproduction [8] and their relation with mushroom traditionaluse The aim of this paper is to compare wild edible mush-room availability in the two slopes of ldquoLa Malincherdquo volcanoand to assess the possible relation between availability andtraditional use

2 Materials and Methods

21 Study Area La Malinche National Park is locatedbetween northern latitudes 97∘ 551015840 and 98∘ 081015840 and betweenwestern longitudes 19∘ 201015840 and 19∘ 081015840 The local climateis temperate subhumid with a rainy season in the summer[C(w2)(w)] the pressuretemperature ratio is 419 and there is

little annual variation in average monthly temperatures withfluctuations between 5∘ and 7∘The annual mean temperatureis 153∘C May is the hottest month (mean temperature =177∘C) and January is the coldest (mean temperature = 11∘C)Over 4000m weather tends to be very cold type E (T) Hwith temperatures under 0∘C in the coldest month [9]

There are threemain vegetation kinds a forest dominatedby P hartwegii in higher altitudes a forest dominated byPinusmontezumae andP teocotemixedwithAlnus jorullensisQuercus laurina and Q crassifolia in lower altitudes andan Abies religiosa forest sometimes mixed with individualsof P montezumae P hartwegii Salix cana S paradoxa andJuniperus monticola in some gullies

22 Sampling Eight sample units (SUs) were established forthis study (Table 1) Four SUs (1ndash4) were placed in Southeastslope (4ndash7 km west of Francisco Javier Mina) and the otherfour (5ndash8) in the Southwest slope (6-7 km north of San IsidroBuensuceso) (Figure 1) SUs were placed in locations usuallyvisited by mushroom collectors This had the purpose toreproduce not the natural production ofmushrooms but theirreal availability since there is a strong competition amongmushroom collectors To reduce the impact of mushroomcollection in our data transects were always visited as earlyas possible

The SUs were sampled at one week intervals during therainy seasons (July to October) Both areas were visited dur-ing three years from 1998 to 2000 SUs 1ndash4 (Southeast slope)were visited 40 times and SUs 5ndash8 (Southwest slope) werevisited 37 times At each visit all fruit bodies were countedpicked up and weighed to avoid double counting at the nextvisit At least one sample of each species was taken to the lab-oratory processed as a voucher specimen for identificationand deposited at TLXM herbarium

Each SU was composed of two parallel transects of 250meach Both transects were separated by a 50m distanceTransects were permanently marked every 5m using stickssurrounded by black pieces of plastic on one side We had atotal of 100 sampling plots on each SU Each plot had a radio of113m and a total area of 4011m2 [10]The total area sampledeach year was of 3200m2

Edibility of each species was determined through localinformation literature from the area [3] literature fromMex-ico [11] and literature from other parts of the world [12] Thecomplete list of the material reviewed was published previ-ously by Montoya et al [3]

23 Data Analysis Species richness was determined by thenumber of species registered in each SU Abundance of fruitbodies was defined as the number of fruit bodies of eachspecies in each SU during the three-year period Productionwas calculated as the total fresh weight of each speciesBiomass was calculated by measuring the dry weight of eachspecies (fruit bodies were dehydrated at least 24 h at 105∘C)Spatiotemporal frequency was calculated as the sum of thenumber of sampling plots where a species was found in eachsampling date Spatial frequency is the number of differentplots in which a species was found during the three-yearperiod in each SU Spatial frequency was categorized inexponential classes very infrequent (1ndash3) infrequent (4ndash9)frequent (10ndash21) very frequent (22ndash45) and extremely fre-quent (46ndash100) We looked for statistical differences in fruitbody abundance and fruit body production between the twoslopes For this purpose either the total number of fruit bod-ies or the total fresh weight in each SU (8) was considered asindependent observations while the data in each SU alongthe years (3) were considered as repeated measures havingtwelve observations per slope Means were compared by abifactorial ANOVA formixed designs in STATISTICA10 [13]Availability of each species was determined by means of itsecological importance value which equals the sum of its rel-ative abundance relative spatiotemporal frequency and rela-tive production [14]

Similarity between the SUs according to their speciescomposition was computed using the species spatiotemporalfrequency A distance matrix was built where rows corre-sponded to the species and columns to the eight SUs Thecorrelation index (Pearson product moment) was computedand SUs were clustered with the UPGMA method then thecophenetic value was computed An ordination of the eightOTUs (=SUs) in a multidimensional space of characters wasmade by means of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA)Analyses were done in NTSYS-pc [15] The diversity wascalculated by using the Shannon-Wiener index Since it is notpossible to know the number of individuals fruit bodies werecounted and instead of using abundance rates spatiotempo-ral frequency was used These analyses were done in the pastsoftware version 216 [16]

the Southeast slope and 49 in Southwest slope The speciesbelonged to 37 genera Fifty-one species were Basidiomycetesand the best represented families were Russulaceae with 9species and Amanitaceae with 5 species We identified 9Ascomycetes the family Helvellaceae being the best repre-sented with 4 species 44 species were mycorrhizal 15 weresaprotrophs and 2 were parasitic

During the three years of sampling the highest speciesrichness was found in the Pinus-Abies forest (SU2 and SU6)and the lowest value was observed in the Pinus forest (SU7)of the Southwest slope Despite the sampling year the highestspecies richness was always observed in the Pinus-Abiesforests (in 1998 at SU6 in 1999 at SU1 and SU5 in 2000 atSU5 SU6 and SU8) In 1999 a Pinus forest (SU3) located inthe Southeast slope also showed a high species richness Thepresence of different tree host species offersmore possibilitiesto find a higher diversity of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms

and more substrates for saprotrophic mushrooms Likewisemicrohabitats produced by the soil humidity and mossesassociated toAbies produce several differences for the mush-room community

Species exclusive to the Southeast slope were Amanitabasii Amanita vaginata Armillaria aff mellea Cantharelluscibarius Laccaria amethystina Lyophyllum sp 1 Ramaria sp1 Ramaria sp 2 Ramaria sp 3 Russula integra and Rus-sula olivacea Species exclusive to the Southwest slope wereAgaricus augustus Amanita fulva Boletus luridus Clavulinacinerea Clavulina coralloides Geopora sp Turbinellus floc-cosus Helvella acetabula Russula albonigra Hygrophoropsisaurantiaca Hygrophorus hypothejus and Sarcosphaera coro-naria

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

It has been proposed that the volcano is regionalizedinto two cultural areas based on the different valuations ofmushroom speciesThere are several differences in the uses ofthe forest In Javier Mina a community located on Southeastslope of the volcano 735of the total population collects andsells mushrooms every year [4 5] In the Southwest slopein San Isidro Buensuceso 21 from a total of 220 personssell wild mushrooms [4 5] Available information showsthat mushrooms are used and granted value by people fromboth slopes however the use and importance of particularspecies are different in both sidesNevertheless there is scarceinformation about ecology parameters such as the fruit bodyproduction [8] and their relation with mushroom traditionaluse The aim of this paper is to compare wild edible mush-room availability in the two slopes of ldquoLa Malincherdquo volcanoand to assess the possible relation between availability andtraditional use

2 Materials and Methods

21 Study Area La Malinche National Park is locatedbetween northern latitudes 97∘ 551015840 and 98∘ 081015840 and betweenwestern longitudes 19∘ 201015840 and 19∘ 081015840 The local climateis temperate subhumid with a rainy season in the summer[C(w2)(w)] the pressuretemperature ratio is 419 and there is

little annual variation in average monthly temperatures withfluctuations between 5∘ and 7∘The annual mean temperatureis 153∘C May is the hottest month (mean temperature =177∘C) and January is the coldest (mean temperature = 11∘C)Over 4000m weather tends to be very cold type E (T) Hwith temperatures under 0∘C in the coldest month [9]

There are threemain vegetation kinds a forest dominatedby P hartwegii in higher altitudes a forest dominated byPinusmontezumae andP teocotemixedwithAlnus jorullensisQuercus laurina and Q crassifolia in lower altitudes andan Abies religiosa forest sometimes mixed with individualsof P montezumae P hartwegii Salix cana S paradoxa andJuniperus monticola in some gullies

22 Sampling Eight sample units (SUs) were established forthis study (Table 1) Four SUs (1ndash4) were placed in Southeastslope (4ndash7 km west of Francisco Javier Mina) and the otherfour (5ndash8) in the Southwest slope (6-7 km north of San IsidroBuensuceso) (Figure 1) SUs were placed in locations usuallyvisited by mushroom collectors This had the purpose toreproduce not the natural production ofmushrooms but theirreal availability since there is a strong competition amongmushroom collectors To reduce the impact of mushroomcollection in our data transects were always visited as earlyas possible

The SUs were sampled at one week intervals during therainy seasons (July to October) Both areas were visited dur-ing three years from 1998 to 2000 SUs 1ndash4 (Southeast slope)were visited 40 times and SUs 5ndash8 (Southwest slope) werevisited 37 times At each visit all fruit bodies were countedpicked up and weighed to avoid double counting at the nextvisit At least one sample of each species was taken to the lab-oratory processed as a voucher specimen for identificationand deposited at TLXM herbarium

Each SU was composed of two parallel transects of 250meach Both transects were separated by a 50m distanceTransects were permanently marked every 5m using stickssurrounded by black pieces of plastic on one side We had atotal of 100 sampling plots on each SU Each plot had a radio of113m and a total area of 4011m2 [10]The total area sampledeach year was of 3200m2

Edibility of each species was determined through localinformation literature from the area [3] literature fromMex-ico [11] and literature from other parts of the world [12] Thecomplete list of the material reviewed was published previ-ously by Montoya et al [3]

23 Data Analysis Species richness was determined by thenumber of species registered in each SU Abundance of fruitbodies was defined as the number of fruit bodies of eachspecies in each SU during the three-year period Productionwas calculated as the total fresh weight of each speciesBiomass was calculated by measuring the dry weight of eachspecies (fruit bodies were dehydrated at least 24 h at 105∘C)Spatiotemporal frequency was calculated as the sum of thenumber of sampling plots where a species was found in eachsampling date Spatial frequency is the number of differentplots in which a species was found during the three-yearperiod in each SU Spatial frequency was categorized inexponential classes very infrequent (1ndash3) infrequent (4ndash9)frequent (10ndash21) very frequent (22ndash45) and extremely fre-quent (46ndash100) We looked for statistical differences in fruitbody abundance and fruit body production between the twoslopes For this purpose either the total number of fruit bod-ies or the total fresh weight in each SU (8) was considered asindependent observations while the data in each SU alongthe years (3) were considered as repeated measures havingtwelve observations per slope Means were compared by abifactorial ANOVA formixed designs in STATISTICA10 [13]Availability of each species was determined by means of itsecological importance value which equals the sum of its rel-ative abundance relative spatiotemporal frequency and rela-tive production [14]

Similarity between the SUs according to their speciescomposition was computed using the species spatiotemporalfrequency A distance matrix was built where rows corre-sponded to the species and columns to the eight SUs Thecorrelation index (Pearson product moment) was computedand SUs were clustered with the UPGMA method then thecophenetic value was computed An ordination of the eightOTUs (=SUs) in a multidimensional space of characters wasmade by means of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA)Analyses were done in NTSYS-pc [15] The diversity wascalculated by using the Shannon-Wiener index Since it is notpossible to know the number of individuals fruit bodies werecounted and instead of using abundance rates spatiotempo-ral frequency was used These analyses were done in the pastsoftware version 216 [16]

the Southeast slope and 49 in Southwest slope The speciesbelonged to 37 genera Fifty-one species were Basidiomycetesand the best represented families were Russulaceae with 9species and Amanitaceae with 5 species We identified 9Ascomycetes the family Helvellaceae being the best repre-sented with 4 species 44 species were mycorrhizal 15 weresaprotrophs and 2 were parasitic

During the three years of sampling the highest speciesrichness was found in the Pinus-Abies forest (SU2 and SU6)and the lowest value was observed in the Pinus forest (SU7)of the Southwest slope Despite the sampling year the highestspecies richness was always observed in the Pinus-Abiesforests (in 1998 at SU6 in 1999 at SU1 and SU5 in 2000 atSU5 SU6 and SU8) In 1999 a Pinus forest (SU3) located inthe Southeast slope also showed a high species richness Thepresence of different tree host species offersmore possibilitiesto find a higher diversity of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms

and more substrates for saprotrophic mushrooms Likewisemicrohabitats produced by the soil humidity and mossesassociated toAbies produce several differences for the mush-room community

Species exclusive to the Southeast slope were Amanitabasii Amanita vaginata Armillaria aff mellea Cantharelluscibarius Laccaria amethystina Lyophyllum sp 1 Ramaria sp1 Ramaria sp 2 Ramaria sp 3 Russula integra and Rus-sula olivacea Species exclusive to the Southwest slope wereAgaricus augustus Amanita fulva Boletus luridus Clavulinacinerea Clavulina coralloides Geopora sp Turbinellus floc-cosus Helvella acetabula Russula albonigra Hygrophoropsisaurantiaca Hygrophorus hypothejus and Sarcosphaera coro-naria

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

Figure 1Map showing sampling units of LaMalincheNational Park TlaxcalaMexicowhere the ecological data sampling ofwildmushroomswas conducted

the Southeast slope and 49 in Southwest slope The speciesbelonged to 37 genera Fifty-one species were Basidiomycetesand the best represented families were Russulaceae with 9species and Amanitaceae with 5 species We identified 9Ascomycetes the family Helvellaceae being the best repre-sented with 4 species 44 species were mycorrhizal 15 weresaprotrophs and 2 were parasitic

During the three years of sampling the highest speciesrichness was found in the Pinus-Abies forest (SU2 and SU6)and the lowest value was observed in the Pinus forest (SU7)of the Southwest slope Despite the sampling year the highestspecies richness was always observed in the Pinus-Abiesforests (in 1998 at SU6 in 1999 at SU1 and SU5 in 2000 atSU5 SU6 and SU8) In 1999 a Pinus forest (SU3) located inthe Southeast slope also showed a high species richness Thepresence of different tree host species offersmore possibilitiesto find a higher diversity of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms

and more substrates for saprotrophic mushrooms Likewisemicrohabitats produced by the soil humidity and mossesassociated toAbies produce several differences for the mush-room community

Species exclusive to the Southeast slope were Amanitabasii Amanita vaginata Armillaria aff mellea Cantharelluscibarius Laccaria amethystina Lyophyllum sp 1 Ramaria sp1 Ramaria sp 2 Ramaria sp 3 Russula integra and Rus-sula olivacea Species exclusive to the Southwest slope wereAgaricus augustus Amanita fulva Boletus luridus Clavulinacinerea Clavulina coralloides Geopora sp Turbinellus floc-cosus Helvella acetabula Russula albonigra Hygrophoropsisaurantiaca Hygrophorus hypothejus and Sarcosphaera coro-naria

the SU4 in a Pinus forest on Southeast slopeThis means thatthey were 56 times more than those recorded at SU1 wherethe less number of fruit bodies was found (230) The lowestabundancewas observed in thePinus-Abies forest (SU1) of thesame areaMore fruit bodies were found in the year 2000 thanin the two previous years Southeast slope produced almosttwice as many fruit bodies as the Southwest slope (Table 2)The most abundant species in the three years were L tricho-dermophora Hebeloma mesophaeum Clitocybe gibba Helve-lla lacunosa Morchella elata Suillus pseudobrevipes Helvellacrispa and S coronaria

Although themean of fruit bodies produced in the South-east slope (25683 fruit bodiesSU year) doubled those pro-duced in the Southwest slope (11442 fruit bodiesSU year)no statistical differences were found between slopes (119865

(118)=

377 119875 = 006) nor between years (119865(218)= 0291 119875 =

0750) because of the high standard deviation in the data ofSoutheast slope (233882)The interaction between slopes andyears also showed any difference (119865

(218)= 1034 119875 = 0375)

33 Production Comparing the values obtained for the twoareas higher values (1610 Kg3200m2) were found on theSoutheast slope L trichodermophora being the most pro-ductive species whereas on the Southwest slope (1344Kg3200m2) S coronaria showed the highest values The totalfresh weight recorded at the SUs during the three-yearperiod was 2954Kg3200m2 (Table 2) This amount means9210 Kgha3 years of edible wild mushrooms SU3 locatedin a Pinus forest had the highest values of fresh weight Year2000 had the greatest production of edible mushroom freshweight

The species with the highest values of fresh weight were in1998 L ovispora R acrifolia R brevipesHmesophaeum andL trichodermophora in 1999L trichodermophoraR brevipesR acrifolia andA rubescens and in year 2000 S coronaria Ltrichodermophora S pseudobrevipes R acrifolia C glauco-pus and B pinophilus No statistical differences were foundbetween the means of fresh weight of edible mushroomsproduced in each slope (119865

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

Although themean of fruit bodies produced in the South-east slope (25683 fruit bodiesSU year) doubled those pro-duced in the Southwest slope (11442 fruit bodiesSU year)no statistical differences were found between slopes (119865

(118)=

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

which are mushrooms associated with Pinus forests (eg Afranchetii and B pinophilus) SU 5 was the most different ithad two exclusive species (Geopora sp and S coronaria) andis located higher in altitude than other SUs

Comparing information obtained for both slopes of LaMalinche National Park the highest values in all parametersconsidered were observed in the Southeast slope Howeverwe did not find statistical differences

39 Diversity Based on the abundance of fruit bodies theShannon-Wiener diversity index (1198671015840) in the Southeast slope

was 178 with a max 1198671015840 of 387 1198671015840 in Southwest slope was300 with amax 3891198671015840 Based on the abundance of plots1198671015840was 253 for Southeast slope and 326 for Southwest slope Insummary considering the abundance of fruit bodies or plotsthe greatest diversity values were found in the SouthwestThe calculation of the weighted diversity index (119867

119901) showed

that both slopes are statistically different with respect to oneanother (Table 4)

The highest value for the Shannon-Wiener diversity indexwas obtained in SU7 (1198671015840 = 343) located in the Southwestslope with 21 species The lowest value of diversity was

obtained in SU4 (1198671015840 = 181) located in the Southeast slopewith 25 speciesThe evenness ranged from088 in SU1 (Pinus-Abies forest) to 078 in SU8 (mixed forest dominated byPinus)(Table 4)

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

between the years (119865(218)= 224 119875 = 0135) The interaction

between mushrooms abundance by slopes and years did notshow any difference (119865

(218)= 119 119875 = 0325)

34 Biomass The highest biomass production (159 Kg3200m23 years) was recorded in the SUs located in Southeastslope while 125 Kg3200m23 years was produced in theSouthwest slope L trichodermophora and L ovispora werethe species with the highest biomass production values in theSoutheast slope and S coronaria and R brevipes in the South-west slope The total biomass was 284Kg3200m23 yearswhich would mean 887 kgha SU3 had the highest valuesThe highest values were recorded in year 2000 (Table 2)

35 Spatiotemporal Frequency Southeast slope had a higherspatiotemporal frequency (STF) presenting 905 plots withmushrooms while Southwest slope had 590 plots withmush-rooms SU4 located in a Pinus forest had the highest overallSTF with 371 while SU7 also in a Pinus forest had the lowestwith 96 Year 2000 had the highest overall STFwith 642 plotsThe species observed in the biggest number of sampling plotswere L trichodermophora H mesophaeum H lacunosa Hcrispa S pseudobrevipes and C gibba then they were thespecies most widely distributed in the study area (Table 3)

36 Spatial Frequency Southeast slope had the highest spatialfrequency (SF) (471 plots) and Southwest slope showed arelative SF of 389 plots The SUs with the highest values offrequency were SU4 SU3 SU6 and SU5 SU7 presented thelowest SF Species with the highest percentage of SF through-out all the sampled areawereL trichodermophora (1775)Hmesophaeum (900)H lacunosa (800)H crispa (638)Mmelaleuca (438) S pseudobrevipes (425) andC gibba(413) (Table 3)

The SF values for A basii A rubescens B pinophilusH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and L decastes werehigher in the Southeast slope while forT floccosusH crispaH lacunosaM elata andM esculenta higher SFs were regis-tered in the Southwest slope In both cases those species havebeen determined to be the most important from a culturalperspective [5]

37 Availability Values obtained as the availability index foreach species are showed in Table 3 Species with the highestvalues in this study were L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosa H crispa M elata C gibba M melaleuca Racrifolia R brevipes and S pseudobrevipes The informationobtained from the availability index shows the presence ofseveral different environments adequate for the fruiting ofmushrooms In the Southwest slope Abies forests are locatedin a lower altitude than those in the Southeast slope wherePinus forests are predominant so there are differences inspecies between the two sites

L trichodermophora H mesophaeum E clypeatum andS pseudobrevipes had the highest values in the Southeastslope while L trichodermophora S coronariaH lacunosaCgibba and H crispa had the highest values on the Southwestslope As for the Southwest slope Figure 2 shows a greater

diversity of species with considerable availability These werepresent in space and time in a differential way As well as inthe Southeast slope (Figure 3) the significance of L tricho-dermophora stands out In this case S coronaria because ofits consistency showed high production values consideringits low abundance

The availability of species measured by the ecologicalimportance value did show remarkable differences betweenthe two slopesThe Southeast slope has two dominant speciesL trichodermophora and H mesophaeum The other speciesregistered on this area showed low values suggesting theirscarce availability in the three sampling years L trichoder-mophora was very abundant it was widely distributed in thesaid space and time In contrast its production was not veryhigh because of the size of its fruit bodies It is interesting tonotice that mushrooms as B pinophilus have relatively highvalues of production due to the consistence and size of theirfruit bodies despite their low abundance and distributionin time and space These characteristics contribute to theincrease of the high production values in the Southeast slope

38 Similarity The cluster analysis (Figure 4) shows the sim-ilarity between SUs based on the values of the spatiotemporalfrequency of species Twomain clusters can be observedThefirst is composed of three SUs two from the Southwest slope(SU6 SU8) and one from the Southeast slope (SU1) The twomost similar SUs of this group are SU1 and SU6 and arerelated to SU8 half of SU1 and all SU6 are located in an Abiesforest and SU8 which is the most different SU is in a mixedforest The second cluster includes SU2 SU4 SU7 and SU3three of them from the Southeast slope and SU7 is from theSouthwest slope all of which are set up on Pinus forests SU2and SU4 are the two most similar SU3 is the most differentwithin this group SU5 is the most different of all SUs

As shown in Figure 5 the results of PCAprovide a sharperdefinition of the different clusters described aboveThe resultsof PCA indicate that the species that contributed to clusterformation (which have a loading gt07 on the first two PCs)wereM affmelaleucaL trichodermophoraA basiiHmeso-phaeumC cibarius andC amianthinum in PC1A vaginataGeopora spG dryophilusG infulaM elata and S coronariain PC2 are all absent from SU3 The first two Principal Com-ponents explain cumulatively 449 of data variation

The representation of the OTUs in a three-dimensionalspace of characters (Figure 5) shows that SUs studied arecloser to one another by vegetation type In the clustersformed by these SUs it is possible to identify subgroupsaccording to the species of edible mushrooms present orabsent Sampling units 1 and 6 showed 17 species in commonsome are characteristic ofAbies forests for example C gibbaC odora H crispa H elastica H lacunosa L salmonicolorandM esculenta And some others also grow in Pinus forestsfor exampleA rubescens and E clypeatum SU8 presented sixexclusive species which had the highest values in the analysisof PCA Conforming a subgroup distinct from the previousSUs 2 and 4 presented 19 species in common most of themaremushrooms associated with Pinus forests (egA basiiAfranchetiiH mesophaeum L trichodermophora and S pseu-dobrevipes among others) and SUs 3 and 7 share 16 species

which are mushrooms associated with Pinus forests (eg Afranchetii and B pinophilus) SU 5 was the most different ithad two exclusive species (Geopora sp and S coronaria) andis located higher in altitude than other SUs

Comparing information obtained for both slopes of LaMalinche National Park the highest values in all parametersconsidered were observed in the Southeast slope Howeverwe did not find statistical differences

39 Diversity Based on the abundance of fruit bodies theShannon-Wiener diversity index (1198671015840) in the Southeast slope

was 178 with a max 1198671015840 of 387 1198671015840 in Southwest slope was300 with amax 3891198671015840 Based on the abundance of plots1198671015840was 253 for Southeast slope and 326 for Southwest slope Insummary considering the abundance of fruit bodies or plotsthe greatest diversity values were found in the SouthwestThe calculation of the weighted diversity index (119867

119901) showed

that both slopes are statistically different with respect to oneanother (Table 4)

The highest value for the Shannon-Wiener diversity indexwas obtained in SU7 (1198671015840 = 343) located in the Southwestslope with 21 species The lowest value of diversity was

obtained in SU4 (1198671015840 = 181) located in the Southeast slopewith 25 speciesThe evenness ranged from088 in SU1 (Pinus-Abies forest) to 078 in SU8 (mixed forest dominated byPinus)(Table 4)

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

Comparing information obtained for both slopes of LaMalinche National Park the highest values in all parametersconsidered were observed in the Southeast slope Howeverwe did not find statistical differences

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

which are mushrooms associated with Pinus forests (eg Afranchetii and B pinophilus) SU 5 was the most different ithad two exclusive species (Geopora sp and S coronaria) andis located higher in altitude than other SUs

Comparing information obtained for both slopes of LaMalinche National Park the highest values in all parametersconsidered were observed in the Southeast slope Howeverwe did not find statistical differences

39 Diversity Based on the abundance of fruit bodies theShannon-Wiener diversity index (1198671015840) in the Southeast slope

was 178 with a max 1198671015840 of 387 1198671015840 in Southwest slope was300 with amax 3891198671015840 Based on the abundance of plots1198671015840was 253 for Southeast slope and 326 for Southwest slope Insummary considering the abundance of fruit bodies or plotsthe greatest diversity values were found in the SouthwestThe calculation of the weighted diversity index (119867

119901) showed

that both slopes are statistically different with respect to oneanother (Table 4)

The highest value for the Shannon-Wiener diversity indexwas obtained in SU7 (1198671015840 = 343) located in the Southwestslope with 21 species The lowest value of diversity was

obtained in SU4 (1198671015840 = 181) located in the Southeast slopewith 25 speciesThe evenness ranged from088 in SU1 (Pinus-Abies forest) to 078 in SU8 (mixed forest dominated byPinus)(Table 4)

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

4 Discussion

The area located in Southeast slope of La Malinche NationalPark presented the highest values of abundance productionbiomass STF and SF of fruiting bodies of edible wildmushrooms while the values obtained in the SUs located inthe Southwest slopes were lower Southeast slope is an areainfluenced by mestizo communities contrary to the indige-nous condition in the Southwest region this is a relevant factin terms of forest managementThe other difference betweenboth slopes related to the management of mushrooms is thelevel of commercialization which is made in great scale insome communities of the Southeast slope for example inJavier Mina opposite to the Southwest region where thereexists a low-level trade of mushrooms and in San IsidroBuensuceso where their use is mainly for self-consumptionBy this way different extractive techniques and uses havedifferent impacts on the availability of mushrooms in theforest areas surrounding the communities [5]

Both locations had almost the same number of species Inyear 2000 higher values were found in all variablesmeasuredWith regard to the SUs the highest values were recorded forSU4 and the lowest for SU1 Highest values in production(fresh weight) and biomass (dry weight) were recorded inSU3 Highest species richness was detected in SUs 2 and 6Largest number of exclusive species was found in SU8 andSU2 Mycorrhizal fungi were more abundant than saprobessince families with more species observed were RussulaceaeTricholomataceae Amanitaceae Gomphaceae and Helvel-laceae

It should be noticed thatHmesophaeum andM elata hadtheir highest abundance in 1998 this was probably a result ofthe fires before the rainy season Fires had a favorable effect instimulating fruiting and in increasing the number of sporo-carps Moser [17] mentions the carbonicolous habit of H

Figure 5 Representation of the sampling units in La MalincheNational Park in a bidimensional space of characters with aPrincipal Component Analysis Sampling units (SUs) from 1 to 8 aregrouped (inside rectangles) according to the spatiotemporal fre-quency of edible mushrooms growing in each one Principal Com-ponent (PC) 1 versus PC 2 The first two Principal Componentsexplain cumulatively 449 of data variation

mesophaeum and Lincoff et al [18] describe the preferenceofM elata to fruit in areas that have been burned prior to therainy season That is the reason why such species presentedhigh values of abundance during the three years of samplingM elata was collected from the Pinus-Abies forest (SUs 1 5and 8) andH mesophaeum from both Pinus and Pinus-Abiesforests (SUs 1ndash8)

Most significant species in the Southeast slope have thehighest values in production abundance and spatial fre-quency in this area compared to the same species in the otherslope The same behavior was observed in the Southwestslope Then the possibility to make a more comprehensiveresearch is suggested that takes into consideration the mon-itoring of ecology of mushrooms for a long period includingthe measurement of structural characteristics of vegetationand weather variables It would also be very importantto include the measurement of the impact of harvestingand other traditional management practices as ecologicalvariables Intentional fires increase the production of somespecies asH mesophaeum andMorchella spp but there is noinformation of their effect on other species in the area

Investigations made about the ecology of wild ediblefungi in Mexico have used different methods cannot makeany kind of comparisons However in some forests of Cen-tral and Southern Mexico production values obtained arevery variable compared to the present study We recorded2953 kg3200m2 or 92101 kgha3 years and Zamora-Mar-tınez and Nieto de Pascual-Pola [19] reported a productionof 763 kghayear and for the other year 524 kgha ofedible wildmushrooms in a Christmas trees plantation (Abiesreligiosa) in Topilejo Mexico The authors suggest that theannual variations in the production of mushrooms were dueto temperature and precipitation as well as the age of thetrees Also in the Malinche Volcano Hernandez-Dıaz [8]assessed the production of wild edible mushrooms in a pineand fir forest sampling two permanent plots of 900m2 eachThere were 35 species of fungi 28 in fir and 22 in pine

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences

14 Journal of Mycology

The total production was 5550 kghayear of weight freshAnahid [20] reported 49 species of wild edible mushroomsin the fir forest of La Malinche volcano with a production of2734 kghayear

Garibay-Orijel et al [14] recorded 81 species of wildedible mushrooms in the pine-oak forest of Ixtlan deJuarez Oaxaca The production was of 5901 kg105600m2or 558 kgha2 years Availability is very heterogeneous indense areas within the same forest Species composition isvery different abundance and production are contrastingThis was not the case with La Malinche where the speciescomposition in both slopes compared was very similar andthe availability of species shows two patterns few availablespecies in Southeast slope and greater availability of manyspecies in Southwest slope Both in Ixtlan and in LaMalincheL trichodermofora is one of the most abundant speciesGaribay-Orijel et al [14] suggest that the utilization of thespecies must be done using different strategies taking intoaccount their availability

It is necessary to remark the importance of designingan ecological method more adequate to sample mushroomspecies Because of the way that data were obtained with inthis study the real values in all parameters are underesti-mated It is possible to say the above if comparisons aremadebetween the amounts of mushrooms which collectors obtainduring their travels Montoya et al [21] reported 2196 Kgof A basii in one rainy season and Pacheco-Cobos [22]showed a value of 2494 fruit bodies of T floccosus and 2066of C gibba on 55 fungi search paths with persons from SanIsidro Buensuceso This means that there are considerabledifferences between those species for the values found in thisstudy

On the other hand climatic conditions are one of the keyfactors for fructification [23] and the climatic informationof La Malinche volcano suggests several differences betweenthe two slopes This is important because rain is one of themost important factors that could affect the soil humiditynutriment availability and temperature However rains havean irregular distribution in the studied area Comparingthe rain regime with the annual average precipitation it isobserved that San Pablo del Monte (in Southwest slope) isthe area with more rains with annual values of 9427mmValues in the municipality of Zitlaltepec located in the Eastpart are of 800mm of annual rains These differences affectthe availability of plants and other organisms as mushroomsAnother important weather element is temperature becausedepending on its values it could affect the assimilation ofseveral nutrients minerals and water The lowest temper-ature in Zitlaltepec is 0∘C during the coldest months andthe maximum temperature is from 20 to 28∘C San Pablodel Monte is the warmest area with maximum temperaturesfrom 22 to 28∘C throughout the year and its coldest temper-ature is never under 5∘C Frosts affect negatively the fruitingof mushrooms this was observed in this study during threeyears of collection In La Malinche the highest incidenceof frosts is registered from November to February with anincidence of 60 to 80 days per year [24] In addition thecharacteristics of climatic variables in the study area explainthe differences found in the two sampled areas Information

about temperature is important because it affects the levelof humidity retention in the soil throughout time with abeneficial effect in the fruiting of some mushroom speciesApparently mushroom collection did not affect abundanceproduction and frequency of mushrooms even though therewere more frequent visits from mushroom collectors in theSoutheast slope than in the Southwest region nevertheless itwould be convenient to test their actual effect in experimen-tal plots in the park

5 Conclusions

The results show differences between the two La Malincheslopes regarding production abundance richness and diver-sity of edible species of mushrooms Southeast slope pre-sented in all variables measured higher values than South-west slope However the availability of mushroom speciesin space and time is more homogeneous in the Southwestslope where it is possible to find more species and betterdistribution during the rainy season There are few speciesthat dominate the fruit body production in the Southeastslope We believe that the management of forests by peopleof different origins (indigenous in the West and mestizo inthe East) and the level of commercialization of mushroomspecies that are important in each slope as well as the typeof forests with their microenvironments are determinants ofthose differences
