Abstract Soil receptiveness to a mycorrhizal association can be estimated by standard bioassay from a dose-response relationship. The method was developed using the association Pinus pinaster or Pseudotsuga menziesii with Laccaria bicolor as a model and was successfully used to characterize the receptiveness of two forest soils. From a physical and chemical point of view, both soils were receptive to the Laccaria bicolor association. Our results show that microbial factors are very important in the receptiveness of soil to ectomycorrhizal association. Ectomycorrhizal development on seedlings at outplanting sites is discussed in relation to soil receptiveness and the ecological competence of selected strains.
