“Reference names” refer to the shorthand names used in Datasets S1 and S2. All trait data, pairwise competitive outcomes, and competitive rankings are given in Dataset S1. In addition to phylogenetic relatedness, a suite of functional traits was measured for each fungus, including wood decomposition rate over 12 wk, hyphal extension rate, hyphal density, the production of five hydrolytic enzymes (leucine aminopeptidase, cellobiohydrolase, acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-ß -glucosaminidase, and β-glucosidase), and the production of three oxidative enzymes (two phenol oxidases and one peroxidase). Trait data were used to calculate functional dissimilarity (Rao’s Q), which was included as a predictor in the statistical models (Table S2). Detailed methods for trait measurements are given in ref. 15.
