Functional Guilds

Functional Guilds is a conceptual framework in fungal ecology that categorizes fungal species into groups based on shared ecological functions, such as nutrient acquisition strategies or symbiotic roles, thereby distinguishing them from taxonomic or phylogenetic classifications by emphasizing functional redundancy and niche partitioning within ecosystems.
