Abstract The fungus Cenococcum geophilum Fr.(Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) is one of
the most common ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal to temperate regions. A series of …

Biological communities are often structured by environmental factors even at small spatial
scales. Fungi are no exception, though the patterns and mechanisms underlying their …

This is the first study to assess the diversity and community structure of the Agaricomycotina
in an ectotrophic forest using above‐ground fruiting body surveys as well as soil rDNA …

Wood-decaying fungi play crucial roles as decomposers in forest ecosystems. In this study,
two new corticioid fungi, Rhizochaete fissurata and R. grandinosa spp. nov., are proposed …

Tree canopies are colonized by billions of highly specialized microorganisms that are well
adapted to the highly variable microclimatic conditions, caused by diurnal fluctuations and …

Needle fungi have been extensively studied in conifers but rarely in Pinus radiata. Previous
studies of P. radiata have been based on fungal isolation and not direct PCR detection from …

Fungi regulate key nutrient cycling processes in many forest ecosystems, but their diversity
and distribution within and across ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, we examine the …

Interactions between trees and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are critical for the growth and
survival of both partners. However, ECM symbiosis in endangered trees has hardly been …

In this paper, by reviewing ecological studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi where both fruiting
bodies and mycorrhizal root tips were simultaneously surveyed, we investigate whether the …

Identification of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is often achieved through comparisons of
ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with accessioned sequences …
