Epigeous saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal sporocarps were assessed during
7yr in a French temperate experimental forest site with six 30-year-old mono-specific
plantations (four coniferous and two hardwood plantations) and one 150-year-old native
mixed deciduous forest. A total of 331 fungal species were identified. Half of the fungal
species were ECM, but this proportion varied slightly by forest composition. The replacement
of the native forest by mono-specific plantations, including native species such as beech and …
