ID: index of dominance according Magan and Lacey (1984).36 Values were obtained by adding the values assigned to each species according to the interaction with the different water activities. Types of interaction and corresponding values: A - mutual intermingling (1), B - mutual antagonism on contact or with free space between fungus colonies <2 mm (2), C - mutual antagonism at a distance (3), D - dominance on contact (4 for the dominant species, 0 for the inhibited species), and E - dominance at a distance (5 for the dominant species, 0 for the inhibited species).

c

Interaction discarded because there was no growth.
