Article Abstract
The genets of Suillus granulatus in a Pinus strobus stand (13 m × 60 m) were identified using random amplified polymorphic DNA molecular markers and the DNA of mushrooms that fruited for two years, and variations in genet size and distribution were analyzed. From a total of 116 mushrooms, 73 genets were identified and were grouped into three locations. The genets of mushrooms in close proximity differed from each other. The genet sizes varied at any of the three locations. The lengths of the identified genets in the pine stand ranged from 0.09 to 2.90 m. The average number of mushrooms per genet was 1.2 to 2.3, and the percentage of genets that were represented by a single mushroom was 44% to 94%. This variation in the genets of mushrooms in close proximity suggests that the ectomycorrhizal mycelial bodies of S. granulatus propagated sexually by fusing haploid spores derived from the mushrooms gills with below-ground mycelia. Therefore, it is necessary further to investigate the formation of new genets through spores in ectomycorrhizal fungal colonies.

Mycorrhizal fungi are known to support their host plants by facilitating nutrient acquisition and enhancing resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. However, the possibility that they also convey structural information about the soil has not yet been tested. Here, we attempted to investigate whether ectomycorrhizal hyphae could guide root growth in response to physical obstacles by using Scots pine () and in a microcosm experiment fitted with U-shaped silicone mazes.

Background: Nitrogen (N) deposition has become a major driving factor affecting the balance of terrestrial ecosystems, changing the soil environment, element balance and species coexistence relationships, driving changes in biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Human-induced nitrogen input leads to a high NH/ NO ratio in soil. However, relatively few studies have investigated the effects of different nitrogen sources on forest plant-microbial symbionts.

Article Synopsis
- Drought is a significant stressor for plants, negatively impacting their growth and productivity, and plant-microbe interactions are crucial for coping with such stress.
- This study investigated how different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) affected the growth responses of two types of fungi and their ability to assist plant seedlings under varying levels of drought.
- Results indicated that all fungi helped seedlings cope with drought by improving growth metrics and enhancing antioxidant activities, with mixed inoculations showing particularly strong benefits for plant resilience and nutrient uptake.

Eight polyprenylphenol derivatives were isolated from the wild edible mushroom , including seven novel compounds, named suillin F-L (2-8), and one previously identified compound (1). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using HR-ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR data. The absolute configuration of compound 8 was assigned based on the comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data.
