  1. The means labelled by different letters are significantly different between treatment groups at P < 0.05 (Tukey’s test). CK—the control group—received an ordinary diet with no combinational macrofungal mycelia. Flies in treatments A, B, C, D, E, F, and G received a mycelium-supplemented diet with A. virgineoides, P. rubicundus, L. nuda, A. virgineoides + P. rubicundus, A. virgineoides + L. nuda, P. rubicundus + L. nuda, and A. virgineoides + P. rubicundus + L. nuda, respectively
