Lactarius hatsudake Tanaka is a mycorrhizal edible mushroom with an appealing taste and rich nutrition. It is also a significant food and has medicinal value. In this study, the plantation of L. hatsudake during the harvest period was taken as the research object, and this article explores which bacteria in the soil contribute to the production and growth of L. hatsudake. The soil of the control (CK) and the soil of the mushroom-producing area [including the soil of the base of the mushroom (JT) and the mycorrhizal root soil (JG)] was collected in the plantation. The three sites’ bacterial community structure and soil diversity were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology, and a molecular ecological network was built. Soil bacteria in the L. hatsudake plantation had 28 tribes, 74 classes, 161 orders, 264 families, 498 genera, and 546 species. The dominant phyla were Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria, and the dominant genera were Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia, Acidothermus, Bradyrhizobium, Candidatus_Xiphinematobacter, and Granulicella. The α-diversity of soil bacteria in JT was significantly lower than that in JG and CK, and the β-diversity in JT samples was significantly different from that in JG and CK samples. The size and complexity of the constructed network were smaller in JT samples than in JG and CK samples, and the stability was higher in JT samples than in JG and CK samples. The positive correlation between species in JT samples was dominant. The potential mycorrhizal helper bacteria (MHB) species of L. hatsudake was determined using correlation and differential group analysis. The results support future research on mycorrhizal synthesis, plantation management, and the function of microorganisms in the soil rhizosphere of L. hatsudake. Full article

Lactarius hatsudake Tanaka is a mycorrhizal edible mushroom with rich economic and nutritional value. Although it is artificially planted, its yield is unstable. Soil fungi, including L. hatsudake, coexist with many other microorganisms and plants. Therefore, complex microbial communities have an influence on the fruiting body formation of L. hatsudake. L. hatsudake and its interactions with the rest of the fungal community over time are not completely understood. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing of microorganisms in the basal soil of the fruiting body (JT), mycorrhizosphere soil (JG), and non-mushroom-producing soil (CK) in a 6-year-old L. hatsudake plantation at harvest. The results showed that the soil of the L. hatsudake plantation was rich in fungal communities and a total of 10 phyla, 19 classes, 53 orders, 90 families, 139 genera, and 149 species of fungi were detected. At the phylum level, the major groups were Basidiomycota and Ascomycota. At the genus level, the dominant groups were Lactarius, Trichoderma, Suillus, and Penicillium. Among them, L. hatsudake had an absolute dominant position in the soil fungal community of the plantation, and was the only group of Lactarius in the plantation soil. Penicillium cryptum and Penicillium adametzii were unique to the JT soil sample. Chaetopsphaeria, Myxocephala, Devriesia, and Psathyrella were positively correlated with L. hatsudake. In the constructed fungal network, the total number of nodes were ranked in descending order as JG (441) > CK (405) > JT (399), while the total number of edges were ranked in descending order as CK (1360) > JG (647) > JT (586). Analysis of the fungal assembly process revealed that groups CK and JG have determinative processes that dominated community building, while the JT group exhibited a dominant random process with a 0.60 probability. The results indicated that L. hatsudake was successfully colonized in the plantation soil. During harvest, the CK group exhibited the largest network size and the most complex fungal interactions, while the fungal community structure in the mushroom cultivation zone (JT and JG) was stable and less susceptible to external environmental interference. L. hatsudake affects the fungal community in the soil surrounding its fruiting body. Full article
