Abstract:
This study reports the pure culture isolation of Elaphomyces muricatus Fries for the first time and the subsequent formation of ectomycorrhizae with Pinus sylvestris (L.). Synthesized Elaphomyces muricatus ectomycorrhizae had a tightly appressed mantle of irregular syncnchyma and a well-developed Hartig net. Extramatrical hyphae were thick walled with minute asperulations. Synthesized E. muricatus ectomycorrhizae gradually accumulated darkly safranin staining material in epidermal and cortical cells. The synthesized ectomycorrhizae agreed in all respects with ectomycorrhizae associated with E. muricatus ascocarps. Elaphomyces muricatus in pure culture produced an anamorphic stage consisting of thick-walled asexual spores which aggregated into bulbil-like masses. Ectomycorrhizal morphology, mantle anatomy, and cultural characteristics of E. muricatus were also examined in view of the possible relationship to Cenococcum geophilum.
