Despite decades of intensive research (especially from 1970s to 1990s), the ericoid
mycorrhizal (ErM) hair root is still largely terra incognita and this simplified guide is intended …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE), a diverse group of ascomycetes, are dominant root
colonizers in many ecosystems. The most frequent DSE in natural forest ecosystems in the …

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 …

Spatial patterns in community structure are known to exist at a range of spatial scales. By
understanding the relative importance of spatial and environmental variation in shaping …

Fungi in the Rhizoscyphus ericae aggregate have been recovered from the roots of co‐
occurring ericaceous shrubs and ectomycorrhizal trees. However, to date, there is no …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are among the most abundant colonizers of plant roots. The
form taxon DSE includes a broad range of fungal species that are only distantly related and …

The culturable fungal assemblage associated with hair roots of Rhododendron lochiae
(Ericaceae) from a tropical cloud forest in Queensland, Australia was investigated using …

To investigate the diversity of root endophytes in Rhododendron fortunei, fungal strains were
isolated from the hair roots of plants from four habitats in subtropical forests of China. In total …

Fungi were isolated from the roots of 17 plant species from the families Apiaceae,
Cunoniaceae, Cyperaceae, Droseraceae, Fabaceae-Mimosoideae, Lomandraceae …

Ericoid mycorrhizal fungal endophytes form mycorrhizal associations with Ericaceae plant
taxa and are regarded as essential to the ecological fitness of the plants in extremely …
