 | | Within Basidiomycota exclusively Hymenomycetes and within Ascomycota exclusively Ascomycetes contribute to the symbiosis. |
 | | Hymenomycetes play a big part, Ascomycetes a minor role; Zygomycetes only form exceptionally ECK Responsible for ascomycetous ECM are mostly Pezizales with their hypogeous derivatives, whereas Boletales, Gomphales, Thelephorales, Amanitaceae, Cantharellaceae, Cortinariaceae, Russulaceae, and Tricholomataceae are the most important ectomycorrhizal relationships within Hymenomycetes. |
 | | ECM, as transmitting organs between soil and roots, are transporting carbohydrates for growth of mycelium and firuitbodies from roots and have to satisfy the tree's demand for water and nutrients. |
