Abstract
Although mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between roots and fungi, are widespread, they differ considerably in their specificity depending on the host plant and fungus involved (Gianinazzi-Pearson 1984). Ericoid endomycorrhizal associations show the greatest degree of specificity and for this reason are of particular interest for research into symbiotic fungal-plant interactions. The fungal symbionts are ascomycetes, some of which have been identified as Pezizella ericae Read (Read 1974; Vegh et al 1979) ; they only develop mycorrhizal infections with a small number of plant genera in the Ericaceae (e.g. Vaccinium, Erica, Gaultheria, Calluna, Rhododendron,…).
