Abstract
A graphical method of analyzing the spatial pattern of macrofungal species in beech forests is described. Species response curves are investigated both from the qualitative (presence/absence) and from the quantitative (log fruit-body number) variation of each species. The approach was applied to 49 macrofungal species, of which 34 were significantly related to certain pattern models. Macrofungi exhibit characteristic response curves along a one-dimensional mull/mor gradient. Also species with a relatively scarce occurrence have the potential to show significant patterns. Graphical tests of the qualitative and quantitative variation were used to provide a better description of the probability of a species to be present on certain sites.
