Many ericaceous species colonize as pioneer plants substrates ranging from arid sandy
soils to moist mor humus, in association with their mycorrhizal fungi. Thanks to the symbiosis …

Through traditional culturing and molecular characterization, we have determined that five
putative species and 2 polyphyletic assemblages of fungi produce ericoid mycorrhizae in …

Plants that form ericoid mycorrhizal associations are widespread in harsh habitats. Ericoid
mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are a genetically diverse group, and they appear to be able …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are a diverse assemblage of symbiotic fungi that features
culturable ascomycetes in the Helotiales and Onygenales, but also so far unculturable …

The occurrence of suitable mycorrhizal inocula may be an important factor affecting the
dynamics of plant communities. We investigated the persistence and diversity of ericoid …

A number of soil-borne fungi are able to form typical ericoid mycorrhizae with plants
belonging to Ericales. Together with Hymenoscyphus ericae, the first isolate from roots of …

Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated with the roots of members of the
Ericaceae which include genera such as Calluna, Epacris, Erica, Rhododendron and …

The fungal partners involved in Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) associations are diverse,
including many ascomycetous species falling in the Helotiales order, such as Rhizoscyphus …

Three hundred and twenty-seven fungal endophyte isolates were obtained from hair roots of
neighbouring Woollsia pungens Cav.(Muell.) and Leucopogon parviflorus (Andr.) Lindl.(both …
