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

Studies on ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) populations, their genetic diversity, dynamics and
the ecological drivers of their structure have long struggled with characterisation of fungal …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play major ecological roles in temperate and tropical
ecosystems. Although the richness of ECM fungal communities and the factors controlling …

ABSTRACT A cladistic analysis of 57 species in six genera of the Endogonaceae was
performed using 27 morphological characters of asexual spores and the endophytic phase …

A morphologically distinct isolate of Cladosporium sphaerospermum from a North American
patent collection, referenced as Cladosporium lignicola in the patent, was examined …

Coniophora arida and C. olivacea (Coniophoraceae, Boletales) are widespread wood-
decay fungi in temperate and boreal regions, occurring both in buildings and natural …

Soil abiotic factors are considered to be important in determining the distribution of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species; however, there are few field data to support this …

Mutualisms with new host lineages can provide symbionts with novel ecological
opportunities to expand their geographical distribution, thereby leading to evolutionary …

Species belonging to the Coryneliaceae and parasitizing Podocarpaceae hosts were
collected from different locations in South Africa and studied morphologically by light …

Mechanisms of diversification in fungi are relatively poorly known. Many ectomycorrhizal
symbionts show preference for particular host genera or families, so host–symbiont selection …
