Abstract
Ectomycorrhizas of 5-month-old Pinus patula plants grown in autoclaved shola soil (forest soil) inoculated with basidiospores of Rhizopogon luteolus and Scleroderma citrinum are described. The main emphasis is on the organisation of the mantle tissue as seen in plan view and the features of associated hyphae and strands. The different layers in the mantle produced by the different fungi are described and illustrated.
