The taxonomy of the genus Hysterangium (Basidiomycotina, Hysterangiaceae) with notes on its ecology

Creator:: Castellano, Michael Angelo
Abstract:: Hysterangium, a genus of hypogeous Basidiomycotina (false truffles) is commonly placed in the Hysterangiaceae and ascribed affinities to the Phallales. It is a large genus among hypogeous taxa and is commonly collected in large numbers in eastern and western North America, Australasia and Europe. Some Hysterangium species are dominant components...

Mycorrhizal status of post-fire Pezizales

Creator:: Fujimura, Kei E.
Abstract:: Post-fire Pezizales often fruit seasonally approximately six weeks after a fire in successional groups over the course of two years. Two methods, pure culture synthesis and PCR-based identification, were used to determine if some of these species were mycorrhizal. Eleven fungal isolates, Anthracobia melaloma, Gyromitra infula, Helvella compressa, Morchella sp.,...

Toxicity of methyl bromide to fungi inhabiting Dahurian larch wood

Creator:: Rhatigan, Ronald G.
Abstract:: Concerns over the possibility of exotic pest introductions from eastern Russia to the West Coast of the United States due to proposed log imports raises the question of the effectiveness of possible mitigation measures. Toxicity of methyl bromide to representative pathogenic fungi was tested by exposing Armillaria ostoyae, Heterobasidion annosum,...

Distinguishing biological and physical controls on soil respiration

Creator:: Phillips, Claire L.
Abstract:: Soil respiration, or the combined CO₂ emissions from roots and soil microorganisms, constitutes one of the largest losses of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems. The major drivers of soil respiration, which include soil moisture, temperature, and substrate quality, have been known for some time. Nevertheless, correlations between these drivers and...

Primary succession on a receding glacier forefront : with special emphasis on root-colonizing fungi

Creator:: Jumpponen, Ari
Abstract:: Plant succession is among the fundamental concepts in ecology. Studies addressing plant recruitment, successional mechanisms, and the role of root-colonizing fungi with focus on dark-septate endophytes (DSE) were conducted in the laboratory and on the forefront of receding Lyman Glacier (North Cascade Range, Washington, U.S.A.). Primary successional studies primarily focus...

Inoculum potential of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in two Costa Rican soils with different vegetation covers

Creator:: Fischer, Christine R.
Abstract:: Mycorrhizae are important for plant growth, particularly in nutritionally poor soils. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) are the primary form of mycorrhizae found in tropical plants, and their persistence in the soil as colonizing fungal propagules following deforestation cannot be directly measured. Utilizing the "most probable number" (MPN) method for estimating infective...

Diversity, productivity, and mycophagy of hypogeous mycorrhizal fungi in a variably thinned Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Colgan, Wesley
Abstract:: Hypogeous fungi are a critical component of forest ecosystems world wide. In Pacific Northwest forests, they are the base of the food chain of the threatened Northern Spotted Owl. As part of The Forest Ecosystem Study (a interdisciplinary study designed to increase development of suitable spotted owl habitat), diversity and...

Occurrence of ectomycorrhizae on ericaceous and coniferous seedlings grown in soils from the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)
Abstract:: Seedlings of Gaultheria shallon, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and Tsuga heterophylla were grown together in the greenhouse in soils from three young managed Douglas-fir forests in the Oregon Coast Range. The main objectives were 1 )to evaluate the ability of ericaceous plants and overstory conifers to share compatible mycorrhizal fungi...

Effects of spatially dispersed green-tree retention on ectomycorrhiza diversity

Creator:: Kolaczkowski, Oralia
Abstract:: The Demonstration for Ecosystem Management Options (DEMO) study originated out of the changing management priorities associated with federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest which included an objective to maintain mature and old-growth forest characteristics in managed stands. The DEMO project examines the effects that different levels and patterns of...

Fungal root pathogen interactions in a mixed conifer forest in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Ferguson, Brennan Angus
Abstract:: The coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest are affected by a variety of endemic fungal root pathogens. Forest disease surveys have noted the presence of two or more of these root pathogens infecting the same stump or root, and it has been suggested that these fungi may be interacting synergistically....
