Soil Microbes Drive the Flourishing Growth of Plants From Leucocalocybe mongolica Fairy Ring.

ABSTRACT: Fairy ring is a natural phenomenon in which fungal fruiting bodies occur as a ring on a spot. This ring is produced due to spore ejection by Basidiomycetous fungi and forms a lush growing plant belt. However, the drivers for such formations and the potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in fairy ring soils remain unknown. Fairy rings formed by Leucocalocybe mongolica were selected in this study. Soil characteristics and microbial (bacteria and fungi) community structures between beneath and outside the fairy rings were compared through high-throughput sequencing. Beneficial bacterial resources were excavated using dependent culturable methods. Soil electrical conductivity and available potassium were higher in the soil beneath the ring than outside it. These parameters were
