Global species richness patterns of soil micro‐organisms remain poorly understood
compared to macro‐organisms. We use a global analysis to disentangle the global …

We assess the composition of corticioid fungi in the Caucasus region for the first time. The
Caucasian corticioids were compared with those of well-documented areas in the Northern …

Fungal diversity and composition are still relatively unknown in many ecosystems; however,
host identity and environmental conditions are hypothesized to influence fungal community …

Cortinarius magellanicus Speg. is an edible, ectomycorrhizal fungus, widely distributed in
Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. However, earlier studies already indicated that the …

Wooded meadows are seminatural plant communities that support high diversity of various
taxa. Due to changes in land use, wooded meadows have severely declined during the last …

We collected mature tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.) Rehder) roots from five
stands to characterize the relative abundance and taxonomic richness of root-associated …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi historically were considered poorly represented in Neotropical
forests but in the central Guiana Shield substantial areas are dominated by leguminous …

The ecological importance of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in tropical ecosystems is
increasingly recognized, but few studies have used molecular methods to examine EM …

Mexico is a center of diversity for pines, but few studies have examined the ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungal communities associated with pines in this country. We investigated the ECM …

The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …
