| | project summary |
 | | (1990) provided data on the fruiting periods and ecological associations [i.e., with respect to certain species of trees and/or different forest types] of macrofungi belonging to five families (Agaricaceae, Amanitaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Pluteaceae, and Tricholomataceae); many of the fungi included in this study are species known to be ectomycorrhizal. |
| | 1990; Bhatt et al., in press) has been directed toward the families of basidiomycetes (e.g., Amanitaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, and Russulaceae) to be considered in the proposed project. |
| | The two primary study sites are considered especially appropriate for elucidating relationships between ectomycorrhizal fungi and their associated trees because species richness of all ectomycorrhiza-forming trees is relatively low while the level of dominance of a particular species is usually high. |
