This study modeled wild edible mushroom yields in Mediterranean forests using Planet satellite imagery, LiDAR, climate data, and field measurements. Results show that seasonal NDVI differences, precipitation, and forest structure are key predictors. Integrating high-resolution intra-annual remote sensing significantly improves yield prediction and ecological understanding.

This study explored whether satellite remote sensing can estimate black truffle mycelium biomass. Optical vegetation indices showed limited results, while Sentinel-1 radar backscatter had significant correlations, especially in spring. Findings suggest radar data capture soil moisture dynamics linked to fungal activity, offering a promising tool for sustainable truffle orchard management.
