The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …

ABSTRACT A six-gene phylogeny of the Inocybaceae is presented to address classification
of major clades within the family. Seven genera are recognized that establish a global …

Trechispora (Hydnodontaceae) is considered as a soil-inhabiting fungus. However, some
species in the genus are frequently forming basidiomes on soil, a typical feature of …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbioses support forest functioning globally, yet both the structure
and function of ECM fungal communities in seasonally dry neotropical forests (SDTFs) …

Plants have developed a diversity of strategies to take up and store essential metals in order
to colonize various types of soils including mineralized soils. Yet, our knowledge of the …

Clavulina comprises ca. 90 described species distributed worldwide in both tropical and
temperate regions. However, only one species (C. floridana) has been described so far from …

Dipterocarpaceae is an important family of trees in Paleotropics that form ectomycorrhizal
(EcM) symbiosis. In 1995, a Neotropical species, Pseudomonotes tropenbosii, was found in …

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Cada vez se sabe más de la diversidad vegetal en el bosque
tropical caducifolio, pero en gran medida se desconocen sus simbiosis micorrízicas. El …

Species of the ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus, and often entire sections, are typically
unique to a single continent. Given these biogeographic patterns, an interesting region to …
