Loblolly pine mycorrhizae in East Tennessee

A recent survey of six loblolly pine stands in East Tennessee yielded 53 species of fungi, six of which have previously been shown to be mycorrhizal with loblolly pine. In addition, four of the collected species formed by mycorrhizae with loblolly pine in synthetic culture. Methods Sporophores were collected from the soil surface of stand interiors in six stands of loblolly pixie (Pinus taeda L.) surveyed at intervals from October 1970 through December 1971. Identifications were confirmed from observation of fresh specimens.
