Interactions between mosses (Bryophyta) and fungi.
Magazine article from: Canadian Journal of Botany
; Abstract: A taxonomically diverse suite of fungi interacts with bryophytes as pathogens, parasites, saprobes, and commensals. Necrotrophic pathogens such as Tephrocybe palustris (Peck) Donk and Nectria mnii Dobbeler form patches of moribund gametophytes in otherwise healthy mats of mosses. These
