An abundance of novel fungal lineages have been indicated by DNA sequencing of the
nuclear ribosomal ITS region from environmental samples such as soil and wood. Although …

Collecting and studying hypogeous sequestrate fungi and their particular fruiting biology has
always been challenging and intriguing for scientists. However, knowledge of hypogeous …

Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and a diverse group of
soil fungi. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is categorized into discrete types based on the structural …

Cortinarius is a species-rich ectomycorrhizal genus containing taxa that exhibit agaricoid or
sequestrate basidiome morphologies. In New Zealand, one of the most recognizable and …

Abstract Background and Aims Mycorrhizal fungi are a critical component of the ecological
niche of most plants and can potentially constrain their geographical range. Unlike other …

The diversity of Corticiaceae found in the Patagonian Andes forests of southern Argentina
was studied. A total of 168 species of Corticiaceae sens. lat. are recorded. The total diversity …

Quercus woodlands are key components of California's wild landscapes, yet little is known
about ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in these ecosystems.• We examined the EM community …

Taxonomical classification of higher fungi remains an important challenge and can benefit
from the application of molecular analysis. We propose that the ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal …

The genus Ceratostomella has a long history of taxonomic confusion. While species with
evanescent asci have been transferred to the Microascales and Ophiostomatales, the …

Although plant adaptation to serpentine soils has been studied for several decades, the
mechanisms of plant adaptation to edaphic extremes are still poorly understood. Arbuscular …
