Abstract

The Cenococcum mycorrhizae of Nothofagus were found in the Craigieburn Range of the Southern Alps (43?12' S lat) in a dense, oldgrowth forest with good regeneration. Sclerotia and hyphae of the fungus were also present in the soil near roots. The mean annual temperature at this site is 46 F, and annual precipitation averages 50 inches (Morris, 1965). Cenococcum mycorrhizae were detected on pines about 50 years old in a windbreak at Lincoln College near Christchurch (43?38' S lat). The mean annual temperature here is 52 F, precipitation 26 inches. In the case of pines, this type of mycorrhiza was relatively rare, and no sclerotia were observed in the soil.
