Diversity in phosphorus mobilisation and uptake in ectomycorrhizal fungi

Table 2 Exploration type of different genera of ectomycorrhizal species

Exploration type	Genus
Long	Boletus, Leccinum, Paxillus, Rhizopogon, Suillus, Tylopilus, Xerocomus
Medium-mat	Boletopsis, Gomphus, Hydnellum, Phellodon, Ramaria, Sarcodon
Medium-fringe	Cortinarius, Hebeloma, Hydnum, Lyophyllum, Tricholoma
Medium-smooth	Albatrellus, Amanita, Cantharellus, Craterellus, Gomphidius, Laccaria, Russula
Short	Inocybe, Rocites
Contact	Hygrophorus, Lactarius, Chroogomphus

Exploration types were defined by Agerer (2001). Long is for long distance, medium is for medium distance, short is for short distance of emanating hyphae from ectomycorhhizal roots. Contact ectomycorrhizae have no emanating hyphae. Redrawn from Hobbie and Agerer (2010)
