Filamentous fungi contribute to ecosystem and human-induced processes such as primary production, bioremediation, biogeochemical cycling and biocontrol. Predicting the dynamics of fungal communities can hence improve our forecasts of ecological processes which depend on fungal community structure. In this work, we aimed to develop simple theoretical models of fungal interactions with ordinary and partial differential equations, and to validate model predictions against community dynamics of a three species empirical system. We found that space is an important factor for the prediction of community dynamics, since the performance was poor for models of ordinary differential equations assuming well-mixed nutrient substrate. The models of partial differential equations could satisfactorily predict the dynamics of a single species, but exhibited limitations which prevented the prediction of empirical community dynamics. One such limitation is the arbitrary choice of a threshold local density above which a fungal mycelium is considered present in the model. In conclusion, spatially explicit simulation models, able to incorporate different factors influencing interaction outcomes and hence dynamics, appear as a more promising direction towards prediction of fungal community dynamics.

Keywords: Relative cover, wood decay species, basidiomycetes, mycelium, interspecific interactions, antagonism, master equations, mean-field approximation, ordinary differential equations, reaction–diffusion equations.

Figure 4.  Prediction of the three-species empirical community dynamics with the PDE (35–37). The data points are for the empirical relative cover of the species in time, and the curves are for the PDE model. The inset shows the PDE numerical solution at time $ t = 40 $ d. Colour–point (of each species): red–circle (Hf), cyan–square (Tv), and blue–$ \times $ (Vc). The PDE model had initial conditions similar to the empirical setting, with the following parameter values (species A was Hf, B was Tv, and C was Vc): $ \epsilon_A = 0.78 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \epsilon_B = 2.16 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \epsilon_C = 1.14 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \delta_A = 0.0062 $ cm$ ^2 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \delta_B = 0.017 $ cm$ ^2 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \delta_C = 0.0091 $ cm$ ^2 $ d$ ^{-1} $, $ \rho_A = 0.22 $ d$ ^{-1} $, and $ \rho_B = 0 $ d$ ^{-1} $. Local extension and replacement rates were taken from the mean boundary extension and replacement rates in the empirical dishes, as for the extension in the one-species PDE. It was assumed that a mycelium is present when its density is greater than 0.5. The relative cover in the PDE solution was estimated by Monte Carlo integration of the mycelium present (the curves are 95% confidence regions of the mean relative cover in the PDE solution from 100 Monte Carlo integrations)
