Epigeous Ectomycorrhizal Fungi of Oaks and Pines in Forests and on Surface Mines of Western Maryland

Epigeous basidiocarps of ectomycorrhizal fungi were collected for 2 years from oak (Quercus sp.) forests, 1 year from conifer (Pinus sp.) forests, and 1 year from oak and conifer reforested surface mines in western Maryland. Botanical, physiographic, and edaphic data were collected. Two hundred and ninety-one specimens, representing 18 genera and 33 identified species, were obtained. Possible ecological implications for the occurrence of these fungi on these sites are proposed.
