Abstract

Study of the representatives of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal genus Suillus has long since attracted mycologists; the genus consists of species with conspicuous and generally epigeous mushrooms with tubular hymenophores, that commonly contribute a major portion of ECM sporocarp production in conifer forest ecosystems. Suillus species exhibit a high degree of host specificity to conifers and their distribution coincides with the natural distribution of pinaceous conifers in the northern hemisphere. In contrast to most ECM species, mycelia of Suillus are generally easy to culture and have been frequently used in ECM studies, including physiology, ECM synthesis and population studies. In an analysis of MYCOLIT, a comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific papers of ECM research, Suillus was the fourth most frequently encountered genus, following Pisolithus, Tuber and Laccaria (Klironomos and Kendrick 1993). In total, 8.2% of ECM papers in the past 40 years have concerned Suillus. In this review, we have tried to compile as complete and broad an analysis of the available literature on Suillus as possible.
