Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Key Genera in Profile

Abstract

Thelephora terres tris is the best-known species of the basidiomycete genus Thelephora, and is a very common ectomycorrhizal symbiont in conifer tree nurseries over all continents. It has a somewhat dubious reputation, however, being considered to be a weak parasite in some instances. Researchers involved in ectomycorrhizal inoculation programmes undoubtedly have cursed this vigorously growing pioneer species because it easily outcompetes their inoculant ECM species. Nevertheless, this mycobiont is well adapted to the environmental conditions in modern nurseries and there is evidence that it confers some advantages to its young host plants in these nurseries. Despite its excellent growth on seedlings of many tree species, it is less common in experimental studies than many other species described in this book. However, its rather special ecological role makes it an interesting species for experimental work.
