Ectomycorrhizae (ECM)
• “Ecto-” means outside and in the case of ECM it
means the fungal hyphae do not normally penetrate
into healthy cortical cells of the plant
• Mantle (m): fungal sheath on the root surface like a
glove
• Hartig net (n): hyphae between root epidermal and
cortical cells (c)

Most ECM fungi are
Basidiomycota
(e.g. Amanita, Amanita,
Boletus, Cantharellus,
Cortinarius, Entoloma,
Entoloma, Gomphidius,
Hebeloma, Hygrophorus,
Inocybe, Lactarius, Paxillus,
Rhizopogon, Russula,
Scleroderma, Scleroderma,
Suillus, Thelephora,
Tomentella)

Some ECM fungi
are Ascomycota
(e.g. Cenococcum,
Muciturbo,
Sphaerosporella,
and, as shown,
Tuber)
Peterson, R.L., et. al. 2006
And a few ECM fungi are Zygomycota
(in the genus Endogone and Glomus)

ECM predominantly occur on the roots of tree species in the
Pinaceae (ECM only), Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Salicaceae (may
also form AM, a type of endomycorrhizae).
• Hyphae emanating from the mantle may extend
several centimeters in to the surrounding soil
• Hyphae are small diameter and long and therefore
have a much greater surface area than do roots or
root hairs
• Hyphae access soil micropore space to reach more
water and nutrients in dry conditions
• Hyphae may also maintain hydraulic conductivity
with the soil as it dries and shrinks


Hyphae may combine to from mycelial strands or
rhizomorphs

May grow several meters and transport water and nutrients
(especially Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) to the roots

ECM may protect against root pathogens
• Species of certain ECM fungi (e.g. Lactarius,
Cortinarius, and Hygrophorus) produce antibiotic
substances
• Some of these antibiotics are antifungal on
Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium debaryanum and
Fusarium oxyporum
• The mantle may exclude nematodes

Abiotic Disorders & ECM



Nutrient deficiency symptoms less likely on
ECM plants
Leaf scorch symptoms less likely as many
ECM fungi can grow at water potentials well
below the permanent wilting point of the plant
Toxic metals (Fe, Al, Mn, S) or excessive
nutrients are more likely filtered out on ECM
plants
