Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Fungi differed widely in mycorrhiza formation with conifer hosts and fell into three host-potential groups.
- Observation Fungi with known specific sporocarp hosts often developed mycorrhizae best on that host.
- Observation Three Pinus species differed little in their ability to form ectomycorrhizae with the fungi.
- Observation Pseudotsuga menziesii formed ectomycorrhizae with fungi fruiting only with Larix occidentalis or Pseudotsuga.
- Observation Larix occidentalis formed ectomycorrhizae with fungi fruiting only with Pseudotsuga menziesii or Larix.
- Observation Fungi with wide sporocarp-host associations were compatible with all tested hosts.
- Observation Specialized fungi were often incompatible with nonassociated hosts.
- Observation Cortical disruption and lignification were common signs of incompatibility.
