The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the ecological
mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and dynamics …

… Colonization of root tips by mycorrhizal fungi can happen by two different mechanisms:
from germinating spores in the soil near a root or from mycelial growth through the soil from a …

… The mechanisms driving seasonality in ectomycorrhizal fungi likely encompass a wide
range of drivers, many related to the selective processes discussed in the preceding sections. …

… mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in mediating plant coexistence. Coarse-scale studies compare the
effects of the presence versus absence of AMF on plant coexistence, a … other mechanisms …

… In this paper we adapted modern coexistence and assembly theory to arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi. … community studies rising, it is now possible to start to piece together the mechanisms …

… includes fungal … fungal coexistence in partnership with dynamic partner choice in other
recent models. Because we additionally exclude any other known coexistence mechanisms (such …

… between ectomycorrhizal fungal competitive ability … mechanisms such as active partner
maintenance by host trees may be important to maintaining “high-quality” ectomycorrhizal fungal …

… Thus, functionally distinct ectomycorrhizal fungi may be able to coexist in dry habitats by
disparate mechanisms including preferentially living deep in the soil where moisture is more …

… Although the data to discriminate among these mechanisms for ECM fungi is limited, in a
previous split-root experiment [25], we observed neither an increase (which would support …

… coexistence mechanisms is relevant for understanding the possibility of biogeochemical
priority effects as mycorrhizal … between plants with different mycorrhizal fungi is contingent on …
