The mycologists thought they would use historical data to confirm their hypothesis of thermal melanism. Since temperatures in the study area increased by about 1 degree C during the study period (1970- 2010), they ran linear regressions of change in temperature vs. change in lightness of the mushrooms. Graph A is for saprophytic fungi (fungi that use decaying organic matter for food). Graph B is for ectomycorrhizal fungi. For Graph A: R2 = -0.002, p-value = 0.565 For Graph B: R2 = -0.003, p-value - 0.939 Interpret the graphs. What are they are saying about the evolution of these fungi?
