Abstract
Mass cultivation of EM fungi has been discussed in this chapter. Different types of inocula are used — natural air-borne spores, soil inocula, nursery seedlings, sporophores/spores and vegetative mycelia. Fungi are grown axenically, selected and maintained for experimental studies. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are grown on semisynthetic media. They prefer different C, N and P sources. They are cultivated both on solid substrates as well as in submerged condition.
