Chondrogaster angustisporus is a hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungus described from
fruiting bodies collected under Eucalyptus spp. in Brazil, Uruguay, and Australia. Due to its …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

In this letter we propose a first large-scale assessment of mycorrhizas with a European-wide
network of intensively monitored forest plots as a research platform. This effort would create …

We present a multigene phylogeny (partial nuc rDNA and RPB2) of Cortinarius sect.
Cortinarius (ie the C. violaceus group), which reveals eight species distributed in Europe …

The potential for seasonal dynamics in ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal assemblages has
important implications for the ecology of both the host trees and the fungal associates. We …

Over the past decade the use of molecular techniques has provided new ways to study old
questions about how ectomycorrhizal fungi interact with each other and their environment. In …

Cortinarius magellanicus Speg. is an edible, ectomycorrhizal fungus, widely distributed in
Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. However, earlier studies already indicated that the …

The corticioid fungi are commonly encountered, highly diverse, ecologically important, and
understudied. We collected specimens in 60 pine and spruce forests across North America …

Since the earliest report by Frank (1885), in which he documented the benefit of
ectomycorrhizal fungi for their plant hosts, ecologists have been intrigued by the functional …

Background In forest ecosystems, communities of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) are
influenced by several biotic and abiotic factors. To understand their underlying dynamics …
