Soil fungi associated with plant roots, notably ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi, are central in
above-and below-ground interactions in Mediterranean forests. They are a key component …

Fungal mutualisms are essential for the evolution and diversification of Orchidaceae, yet the
fungal symbionts of Pleione orchids are poorly understood because molecular data are …

Despite extensive studies on the interaction between dark septate endophytes (DSE) and
host plants, little is known about the effects of mixed inoculation of DSE and ericoid …

Ericaceous plants rely on ericoid mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient acquisition. However, the
factors that affect the composition and structure of fungal communities associated with the …

Climate change is affecting winter snow conditions significantly in northern ecosystems but
the effects of the changing conditions for soil microbial communities are not well-understood …

Mycorrhizal associations of trees play a key role in ecosystem biogeochemistry, yet we know
relatively little about the nutrient acquisition strategies of ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs …

Wetlands provide numerous ecosystem services, and ericaceous plants are important
components of these habitats. However, the ecology of fungi associated with ericaceous …

We discovered that Sarcoleotia globosa (Geoglossomycetes) fruited on the soil of
