Abstract
Three ectomycorrhizal fungi, Hebeloma crustuliniforme, Paxillus involutus and Thelephora terrestris were inoculated in a peat/vermiculite mixture during the transition period in which plants became adapted from conditions in vitro to conditions in a substrate in the glasshouse. Survival of inoculated plants was generally lower than that of uninoculated controls. Lowest survival (60%) was observed in the presence of T. terrestris. This fungus, however, gave the highest frequency of root infections, a significant increase in shoot height and a doubling of shoot dry weight. The content of N, P and K in plants with ectomycorrhizas was higher than uninfected control plants.
