Mycorrhizosphere microbes enhance functioning of the plant–soil interface, but little is
known of their ecology. This study aims to characterize the ascomycete communities …

Fungi were isolated from the roots of 17 plant species from the families Apiaceae,
Cunoniaceae, Cyperaceae, Droseraceae, Fabaceae-Mimosoideae, Lomandraceae …

The community of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and co-associated fungi from a serpentine site
forested with Pinus sylvestris and Quercus petraea was explored, to improve the …

The diversity and phylogenetic affinities of symbiotic root‐associated ascomycetes of the
Helotiales are reported here based on ITS1–5.8 S‐ITS2 (internal transcribed spacer, ITS) …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is a widespread plant nutrition strategy in Australia,
especially in semiarid regions. This study aims to determine the diversity, community …

Symbiosis between plant roots and fungi is termed 'mycorrhiza'(Frank 2005). In this thesis,
mycorrhizal symbiosis is viewed as reciprocal parasitism that results in mutualistic to …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) roots represent important niches for interactions with bacteria and
ascomycete fungi, since they have a large surface area and receive a direct supply of plant …

Resupinate thelephoroid fungi (hereafter called tomentelloid fungi) have a world‐wide
distribution and comprise≈ 70 basidiomycete species with inconspicuous, resupinate …

The majority of Australian fungi have yet to be discovered and described and the systematic
relationships of many known fungi have not been elucidated. Most of the major groups of …

A molecular survey of basidiomycete ectomycorrhizal fungi colonising root tips at a site in
Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) forest revealed the presence of many fungal species which …
