Abstract
Ectomycorrhizae formed in synthesis tubes by aspen (Populus tremuloides) seedlings and each of seven fungal isolates are described. Isolates of Amanita muscaria v. formosa, A. pantherina, Inocybe lacera, and Paxillus vernalis, from sporocarps collected in aspen stands in southwestern Montana, developed mantles and Hartig nets on aspen roots, as did the broad-hostrange fungi Cenococcum geophilum and Pisolithus tinctorius from the VPI culture collection. Chalciporus piperatus failed to form mycorrhizae, and Piloderma croceum formed a mantle, but no Hartig net. The first syntheses of I. lacera and A. pantherina with aspen are reported.
