Publisher's Synopsis
Up until recently the published descriptions of ectomycorrhizas (tree fungus) have often been insufficient for precise identification. This book describes a rapid but accurate method for examination and characterization, using a series of 24 descriptions of ectomycorrhizas most commonly encountered on young trees in Britain by the ITE research group. Produced for use in the laboratory, the format is designed to relate to the way in which whole root mounts are examined. It is hoped that this guide will improve the accuracy and interpretation of experimental data, facilitate communication and stimulate research, thus encouraging the identification of unknown ectomycorrhizas.
