Motion-sensitive cameras set up in the Canterbury foothills by Landcare Research scientists captured deer and possums eating fungi essential to the growth of the pines. Landcare Research scientist Jamie Wood, who led the study recently published in the Journal of Ecology, said DNA analyses of the dung from the animals showed they contained traces of the fungi. “Our results suggest that the pests may be helping wilding pines spread to new areas by dispersing the beneficial fungi through their faeces,” Wood said. “Other studies have shown that when a pine seed lands on soil, it can only establish if the fungi are present too. So if you get rid of the fungi pine can’t invade,” he said. The fungi provide several benefits to the pines including increased access to nutrients and drought tolerance. Once in the soil, the fungal spores can lay dormant for decades. While the study focused on deer and possum consuming and dispersing the fungi, it was likely other exotic mammals such as pigs and hedgehogs could also do the same, Wood said. He described the interaction between the pests, fungi and pines as an “invasional meltdown”. “A meltdown is when multiple things come in – so in this case pines, fungi and mammals - and they’re all beneficial to each other and help each other spread. But if you take one of those things out they don’t do so well.” Co-author Duane Peltzer of
