Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Mycelial inoculum of P. tinctorius completely colonized the roots of loblolly pine seedlings during an 8-month growth period in all soil temperature regimes.
- Intervention effect Mycelial inoculum of P. tinctorius stimulated twice as much dry matter production in loblolly pine seedlings as in seedlings ectomycorrhizal with naturally occurring fungi.
- Observation When basidiospores of P. tinctorius were added around 2-month-old seedlings already ectomycorrhizal with naturally occurring fungi, approximately half the ectomycorrhizae after 8 months were formed by P. tinctorius.
- Observation Basidiocarps of P. tinctorius were produced around certain microplots.
- Observation The following year, P. tinctorius from overwintered inoculum formed ectomycorrhizae on loblolly pine seedlings when soil was mixed at ratios as great as 1:10 with recently fumigated soil.
- Recommendation Vegetative mycelial and basidiospore inocula of P. tinctorius can be used to artificially infest fumigated soil to produce pine seedlings with ectomycorrhizae.
