Notes:
Summary Cultural characteristics of 6 E-strain fungi were studied and monoxenic mycorrhizal synthesis experiments performed onPinus resinosa with three isolates. Best radial growth of fungi was obtained on potato dextrose agar at pH 6, with northern isolates reaching peak growth rates at 20°C and southern at 24°C. Northern but not southern races grew at 4°C. Mycorrhizae formed on red pine by isolates from New York (NY) and West Virginia (WV) were ectendo- but those by the Mississippi (MISS) isolate were predominantly ecto-. Root systems of seedlings with the WV isolate were coarser with shorter and thicker long-root branches and fewer mycorrhizae than NY and MISS seedlings.
