Digging deeper: in search of the mechanisms of carbon and nitrogen exchange in ectomycorrhizal symbioses
Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis and the nitrogen nutrition of forest trees
Terrestrial plants form primarily mutualistic symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi based on a
compatible exchange of solutes between plant and fungal partners. A key attribute of this …

Two ectomycorrhizal truffles, Tuber melanosporum and T. aestivum, endophytically colonise roots of non‐ectomycorrhizal plants in natural environments
L Schneider‐Maunoury, A Deveau, M Moreno… - New …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Serendipitous findings and studies on Tuber species suggest that some ectomycorrhizal
fungi, beyond their complex interaction with ectomycorrhizal hosts, also colonise roots of …

Temporal changes of bacterial communities in the Tuber melanosporum ectomycorrhizosphere during ascocarp development
Ectomycorrhizae create a multitrophic ecosystem formed by the association between tree
roots, mycelium of the ectomycorrhizal fungus, and a complex microbiome. Despite their …

Fungi as a source of food
In this article, we review some of the best-studied fungi used as food sources, in particular,
the cheese fungi, the truffles, and the fungi used for drink fermentation such as beer, wine …

Long-term nitrogen and sulfur deposition increased root-associated pathogen diversity and changed mutualistic fungal diversity in a boreal forest
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition can change above-and belowground
biodiversity, including root-associated fungi that are tightly linked to plant fitness. We …

Multi-platform metabolomic approach to discriminate ripening markers of black truffles (Tuber melanosporum)
Black truffle is characterized by a black ascocarp and white veins. This hypogeous fruit body
is known for its aroma. Understanding metabolic variation during ripening can shed light on …
