In this article we will discuss about the requirements and procedure for ectomycorrhizal inoculum production. Ectomycorrhizae are found associated with forest trees like Pinus, Fagus, Populus, etc. Unlike VAM fungi, these mostly belong to higher fungi like Tuber (Ascomycotina), Amanita, Boletus, Pisolithus (Basidiomycotina), etc. Requirements: a. Malt agar medium. b. Fruit bodies/fungal sheath/sclerotia. c. Inoculating […]
