Abstract
The diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi and sporocarps abundance were investigated in 2003-2005 at nine permanent study plots in a 50-year-old pine forest. Diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi consisted of 53 taxa and the majority of them belonged to the genera <em>Cortinarius, Russula, Amanita</em> and <em>Tricholoma</em>. The most frequent species, whose fruit bodies were found in each study plot, were <em>C. cibarius, L. necator L. rufus, P. involutus, R. aeruginea, T. saponaceum</em> and the most abundant species which made the main part of total sporocarp yield were <em>C. cibarius</em> and <em>P. involutus</em>. The lowest species richness of ectomycorrhizal fungi was in study plots with the densest cover of grasses. Maximum of species over the fruiting period was characteristic for October and for September. It was noticed that some species virtually never occurred together at the same plot (eg. <em>C. cibarius</em> and <em>H. aurantiaca</em>), meanwhile others occurred together quite frequently (eg. <em>H.aurantiaca</em> and <em>X. badius</em>).
Highlights
Wild mushrooms are becoming more important as a non-timber forest product and there is a need for more site-specific data on the fungi ecology and factors that influence species diversity and production of sporocarp
We investigated assemblage structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with 50–years–old P. sylvestris
The objectives of present study were: 1) to perform inventory of ectomycorrhizal fungus diversity, 2) to examine sporocarp abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi aiming to determine dominant species in the investigation territory, 3) to obtain a quantitative estimate of the relative contributions of dominant ectomycorrhizal species to assemblage structure in 50-years-old P. sylvestris forest situated in Lithuanian– Poland transboundary region
