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 …

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

Dwarf shrubs of the family Ericaceae are common in arctic and alpine regions. Many of
these plants are associated with ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi, which allow them to take …

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 …

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 …
