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

The turnover of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal biomass represents a significant input into
forest carbon (C) and nutrient cycles. Given the size of these fluxes, understanding the …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

The effects on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community of clearcut logging, which is used to
harvest millions of hectares of ectomycorrhizal forest annually, has been studied for a …

Homobasidiomycete fungi display many complex fruiting body morphologies, including
mushrooms and puffballs, but their anatomical simplicity has confounded efforts to …

Colonization of mycorrhizal fungi was studied in a Pinus muricata forest on the coast in
California, USA, burned by a stand-replacing wildfire in October 1995. Naturally established …

Classic ectomycorrhizal symbioses are mutualisms that involve the exchange of fixed
carbon for mineral nutrients between plant roots and fungi. They are unique in the way they …

Phylogenetic relationships among ascomycetous truffles and the true and false morels were
examined by using sequences from two nuclear encoded ribosomal DNA genes. The data …

Soil microbiology is crucial for soil system functioning. Fire can affect soil microbes directly
through heating and indirectly by modifying soil properties. Microbes will also be affected by …

A growing body of molecular research is discovering a high diversity of pezizalean
ectomycorrhiza (EcM), yet most remain unidentified at the genus or species level. This study …
