Abstract
Mycorrhizas are of importance for their tree hosts, as those trees’do not have roots, but mycorrhizas’. The decline of fungi in Europe is relatively well documented. Mycorrhizal fungi have decreased more than saprophytes. Recent studies on acid rain and ectomycorrhizas have raised several new questions. Research priorities are given in 3 fields: tree nutrition and growth, carbon use by ectomycorrhizal fungi, and relations between mycorrhizas and other compartments of the forest ecosystem.
