Abstract

Hebeloma sinapizans and Paxillus involutus formed ectomycorrhizae with cork oak (Quercus subedotr) in axenic conditions and glasshouse trials. Inoculation with H. sinapizans, but not P. involutus, prevented the contamination of seedlings by Sphaerosporella brunnea. Whereas H. sinapizans formed mycorrhizas with a majority of feeder roots, P. involutus formed mycorrhizas with a minority.
