Species of the ectomycorrhizal genus Leccinum are generally considered to be host
specialists. We determined the phylogenetic relationships between species of Leccinum …

In northern boreal forests, the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species is much greater
than that of their host trees. This field study investigated the role of individual trees in …

Phenotypic similarities between the root endophytes Scytalidium vaccinii, a hyphomycete,
and Hymenoscyphus ericae, an ascomycete, led to speculation that S. vaccinii might be the …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) hyphal communities have not been well characterized. Furthermore,
there have been few studies where the ECM hyphal community is compared to fungi …

Abstract The Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) are nonphotosynthetic angiosperms that obtain
fixed carbon from basidiomycete ectomycorrhizal fungi. In previous work, we showed that …

In most ectomycorrhizal (EM) community studies involving molecular identification methods
there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps and …

Endemic species of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are found throughout many biomes, but it is
unclear whether their localized distribution is dictated by habitat filtering or geographical …

Diversity of ectotrophic mycobionts on outplanted seedlings of two oak species (Quercus
rubra and Quercus prinus) was estimated at two sites in mature mixed forests in the southern …

Studies of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in forest soils are usually restricted to the
uppermost organic horizons. Boreal forest podzols are highly stratified and little is known …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are integral to boreal and temperate forest ecosystem
functioning and nutrient cycling. ECM fungi, however, originate from diverse saprotrophic …
