Abstract excerpt
Population genetic studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi at scales larger than 100 km are still relatively rare with highly variable results. In this study, we determined the population genetic structure of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Suillus spraguei over distances up to 600 km in northeastern USA forests. S. spraguei associates exclusively with five-needled pines and only with white pine (Pinus strobus) in the...
