Abstract
Basidiospores of the ectomycorrhiza-forming fungi Pisolithus tinctorius and Scleroderma citrinum incorporated into an organic hydrocolloid and stored up to five years can be used successfully in inoculations. Container-grown sawtooth oak seedlings were inoculated with basidiospores that were incorporated and stored in chips of compressed sand and peat moss. Basidiospore chips were manufactured each year after several collections of sporocarps from two locations and stored up to five years. This study showed that sufficient basidiospores remained viable in chip form for ectomycorrhiza formation of sawtooth oaks.
