Fungal necromass decomposition dynamics is driven by fungal physiological state at death
This study investigated how the physiological state at death affects the decomposition of Neurospora crassa necromass. The results showed that fungal necromass decomposition follows an asymptotic model, with initial rapid mass loss followed by a plateau phase. The study found that N. crassa physiological age at death significantly influences decomposition dynamics, with intermediate-aged necromass
