Rhizopogon is a genus of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes in the family Rhizopogonaceae. Species form hypogeous sporocarps commonly referred to as "false truffles". The general morphological characters of Rhizopogon sporocarps are a simplex or duplex peridium surrounding a loculate gleba that lacks a columnella.

Rhizopogon is the largest genus of ectomycorrhiza] Because the artificial nature of pure-culture syn- hypogeous Basidiomycotina, with about 150 de- theses creates problems in interpreting host-fungus scribed species (Molina, Massicotte & Trappe, …

Rhizopogon truncatus ectomycorrhizas were tuberculate in morphology and had a rind-like mantle enclosing adjacent roots. In addition, several species exhibited crystal inclusions in the outer mantle,

2008年12月9日 · The mycobiont in tuberculate ECM of Douglas-fir was originally identified as Rhizopogon vinicolor (Zak 1971), but was later shown to be a species complex of two sister species both forming tuberculate ECM on Douglas-fir and tentatively referred to as R. vinicolor and R. vesiculosus, respectively (Kretzer et al. 2003). Tuberculate ECM of Douglas ...

2008年6月28日 · The primary objectives were to assess and compare the pattern of host specificity between symbionts and to study the influence of co-cultured plants on ecromycorrhiza development. The Rhizopogon spp. ranged from genus-specific to multiple-host compatible.

Several Rhizopogon species are important members of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities, contributing significantly to sporocarp productivity and ECM dominance. They occur in young and old forest stands alike and in diverse habitats. This ecological amplitude was recognized early in the twentieth century when Rhizopogon

2015年8月13日 · Rhizopogon vesiculosus and Rhizopogon vinicolor are sister species of ectomycorrhizal fungi that associate exclusively with Douglas-fir (DF). They form tuberculate mycorrhizas and they can be easily distinguished using molecular tools.

2007年2月1日 · Trees in the Pinaceae form TECM with species of Rhizopogon and Suillus (Suillineae, Boletales). Similar tubercules are found with diverse angiosperms, but their mycobionts have not been ...

2011年4月15日 · Rhizopogon vesiculosus and Rhizopogon vinicolor are sister species of ectomycorrhizal fungi that associate exclusively with Douglas-fir (DF). They form tuberculate mycorrhizas and they can be...

2012年10月25日 · Mycelia spatial patterns, pervasiveness and root colonization patterns of fungal genets were compared between Rhizopogon species and between xeric and mesic soil moisture regimes.
