@article{Tam2004HeavyMT, title={Heavy metal tolerance by ectomycorrhizal fungi and metal amelioration by Pisolithus tinctorius}, author={Paul C. F. Tam}, journal={Mycorrhiza}, year={2004}, volume={5}, pages={181-187} }
Five ectomycorrhizal fungi, Pisolithus tinctorius, Thelephora terrestris, Cenococcum geophilum, Hymenogaster sp. and Scleroderma sp., which were demonstrated previously to be capable of forming ectomycorrhizas with some pine, eucalypt and fagaceous tree species were grown in vitro in liquid cultures for 3 weeks at six different concentrations of nine heavy metals, aluminium, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury. Measurements of mean mycelial dry weight yields…

Effect of Coal Ash on Growth and Metal Uptake by Some Selected Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in vitro
- Environmental ScienceInternational journal of phytoremediation

Growth of vegetative mycelium on fly ash variants and metal accumulation data indicated that Pisolithus tinctorius (EM-1290) was the most tolerant among the isolates tested for most of the metals and could be used for the reclamation of coal ash over burdened sites.

Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi were isolated from roots of Calluna vulgaris collected from mine spoil at abandoned copper mines at Avoca, County Wicklow, Ireland, and Parys Mountain, Anglesey, Wales and determined to have a low sensitivity to these metals.

Zinc tolerance in Betula spp. IV: The mechanism of ectomycorrhizal amelioration of zinc toxicity
- Environmental Science
- 1987
Results imply that as the fungal mycelium colonizes fresh soil, zinc is adsorbed to the surface of hyphae, thereby lowering the concentration of zinc in the soil solution surrounding roots and growth is better than in the non-mycorrhizal condition.
Histochemical demonstration of heavy metal tolerance in ectomycorrhizal fungi
- Environmental SciencePlant and Soil

Evidence was obtained that tolerance to heavy metals in ectomycorrizal fungi is based on the presence of metallothionein-like proteins, and this implication that tolerance in these fungi should be induced by sublethal concentrations of heavy metals has been confirmed.

It is concluded that chemical fixation causes serious loss or redistribution of ions and the occurrence of monovalent cations in polyphosphate granules should be considered in determining the role of the granules in mycorrhizas.

Zinc tolerance of mycorrhizal Betula

The mycorrhizas increased the tolerance to Zn of both tolerant and non-tolerant Betula and this was coupled with a reduction in the translocation of zinc to the shoots of Betula, but an accumulation of zinc in the mycor rhizas.
