Nitrogen addition in a Norway spruce stand altered macromycete sporocarp production and below-ground ectomycorrhizal species composition
• Changes in above- and below-ground ectomycorrhizal species composition are reported following nitrogen addition for 2 yr to a subalpine spruce (Picea abies) stand.
• The macrofungal sporocarp… Expand
Species richness, abundance, and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot
- G. Straatsma, F. Ayer, S. Egli
- Biology
- 1 May 2001
Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m# from 1975‐99 (excluding 1980‐83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a… Expand

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous soil fungi, forming mutualistic symbiosis with a majority of terrestrial plant species. They are abundant in nearly all soils, less diverse than soil… Expand
Above- and below-ground community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi in three Norway spruce (Picea abies) stands in Switzerland
- M. Peter, F. Ayer, S. Egli, R. Honegger
- Biology
- 1 October 2001
The structure of ectomycorrhizal communities was assessed above- and below-ground at three different sites in Switzerland that are dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). We applied… Expand
Is forest mushroom productivity driven by tree growth? Results from a thinning experiment

Abstract• Most of the edible forest mushrooms are mycorrhizal and depend on carbohydrates produced by the associated trees. Fruiting patterns of these fungi are not yet fully understood since… Expand
Climate variation effects on fungal fruiting
- L. Boddy, U. Büntgen, +5 authors H. Kauserud
- Biology

Earth's climate is changing. Effects of climate change on fungal distribution and activity are hard to predict because they are mediated in many different ways, including: fungal physiology,… Expand
Ectomycorrhiza succession patterns in Pinus sylvestris forests after stand-replacing fire in the Central Alps

- 6 April 2011
Fires shape fundamental properties of many forest ecosystems and climate change will increase their relevance in regions where fires occur infrequently today. In ecosystems that are not adapted to… Expand
Susceptibility of ectomycorrhizal fungi to soil heating.

- 1 May 2010
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are an important biotic factor for successful tree recruitment because they enhance plant growth and alleviate drought stress of their hosts. Thus, EcM propagules are… Expand
Soil contamination by crude oil: impact on the mycorrhizosphere and on the revegetation potential of forest trees.

- 1998
In vitro and greenhouse biotests were carried out to study the effects of various concentrations of crude oil on the mycorrhizosphere and the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to colonise Norway… Expand
Mushroom picking does not impair future harvests – results of a long-term study in Switzerland
Forest fungi not only have important functions within the forest ecosystem, but picking their fruit bodies is also a popular past time, as well as a source of income in many developing and developed… Expand
