| 95% of basidiospores fall within one meter of the cap- a field and modeling based study. | plant establishment patterns suggest that ectomycorrhizal fungal (emf) inoculant is not found ubiquitously. the role of animal vectors dispersing viable emf spores is well documented. here we investigate the role of wind in basidiospore dispersal for six emf species: laccaria laccata, lactarius rufus, suillus brevipes, suillus tomentosus, and thelephora americana. basidiospores adhered to microscope slides placed on three 60 cm transects radiating away from sporocarps. morphological characterist ... | 2011 | 21700637 |
| occurrence of ectomycorrhizal fungi on the forefront of retreating lyman glacier (washington, usa) in relation to time since deglaciation. | glacier forefronts provide a unique system for studying primary succession of plants and fungi. we constructed a chronosequence of ectomycorrhizal fungus occurrence on the forefront of lyman glacier in the north cascades mountain range in washington, usa. the plant communities established on non-vegetated substrate as patchily distributed plant individuals and developed towards complex vegetation with a variety of ectomycorrhizal hosts, including salix commutata, s. phylicifolia, abies lasiocarp ... | 2002 | 11968946 |
