Ericoid mycorrhiza occur only within the plant family Ericaceae, yet are globally widespread
and contribute to carbon and nutrient cycling in many habitats where harsh conditions limit …

The fungal partners involved in Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) associations are diverse,
including many ascomycetous species falling in the Helotiales order, such as Rhizoscyphus …

Despite decades of intensive research (especially from 1970s to 1990s), the ericoid
mycorrhizal (ErM) hair root is still largely terra incognita and this simplified guide is intended …

Ericoid mycorrhiza is a mutualistic relationship between several lineages of plants in the
family Ericaceae (Cassiopoideae, Ericoideae, Harrimanelloideae, Styphelioideae, and …

Mycorrhizal symbioses (mycorrhizas) of Ericaceae, including ericoid mycorrhiza (ErM), have
been mainly studied in the Northern Hemisphere, although the highest diversity of …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are a diverse assemblage of symbiotic fungi that features
culturable ascomycetes in the Helotiales and Onygenales, but also so far unculturable …

Plants that form ericoid mycorrhizal associations are widespread in harsh habitats. Ericoid
mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are a genetically diverse group, and they appear to be able …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

Many ericaceous species colonize as pioneer plants substrates ranging from arid sandy
soils to moist mor humus, in association with their mycorrhizal fungi. Thanks to the symbiosis …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …
