The necropolis consists of hypogeous dug into the tufa rock, used until Roman times. |
Ophiocordycipitaceae is a highly diverse fungal family parasitizing a wide range of arthropods and hypogeous fungi. |
Particularly interesting is the Locopagliaro hypogeous olive oil mill from the Middle Ages, a museum of oil and a museum of peasant civilization, of great historical, artistic and cultural value. |
These true mycorrhizae include such macro-fungi as the toadstools and the hypogeous truffles and tuckahoes. |
We collected two ophiocordycipitaceous species previously unknown in Taiwan: one emerged from hypogeous fruiting bodies of an Elaphomyces fungus and the other was associated with dragonflies. |
We find a great degree of biodiversity among the microfauna and microflora in their hypogeous systems, and in the epigeous macroflora. |
