Fungal species communities on branches?

I am finding mostly either no growth on branches fallen or a large community of different species. Are these cooperate assemblages of fungi? How do they interact? I will be posting more photographs of these species dense branches. Is there a succesion of predicatable species that appear on a clean empty branch? Are some species keystone in enhancing these communities maybe by improved water retention? or nutrients?
