In many semi-natural and natural ecosystems, mycorrhizal fungi are the most abundant and
functionally important group of soil micro-organisms. They are almost wholly dependent on …

Background Physiologically stressful environments tend to host depauperate and
specialized biological communities. Serpentine soils exemplify this phenomenon by …

We provide a preliminary report of the mycobionts found within four Monotropoideae
(Ericaceae) species from China: Monotropa uniflora, Hypopitys monotropa, Monotropastrum …

Abstract Knowledge about the mycorrhizal root traits of plants is critical for understanding
ecosystem processes from landscape to global scale. In spite of> 130 years of research …

Myco-heterotrophy is one of the longest-studied aspects of the mycorrhizal symbiosis, but
there remain many critical, unanswered questions regarding the ecology and physiology of …

Abstract Background and Aims The rhizoids of leafy liverworts (Jungermanniales,
Marchantiophyta) are commonly colonized by the ascomycete fungus Pezoloma ericae …

Mycorrhizal fungi occur in nearly all soils on earth and form a symbiotic relationship with
roots of most terrestrial plants. The mycorrhizal morphology is the basis for grouping them …

Previous reports of sequences of Sebacinales (basal Hymenomycetes) from ericoid
mycorrhizas raised the question as to whether Sebacinales are common mycorrhizal …

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 …

A diverse range of fungi associate with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) root tips, however, their
identity and the biotic and abiotic filters structuring these communities remain unknown. We …
