Abstract

In the mountains of Veracruz State (east of Mexico), the southernmost limit of Fagus in the Americas, two relict forests of F. grandifolia var. mexicana were visited between 2007 and 2009 and 2013?2014, in order to study the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) systems of these trees with Lactarius rimosellus (L. subg. Russularia) and with L. acatlanensis (L. subg. Lactarius). We confirmed their EcM association through comparison of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from the mycobiont in the ectomycorrhizal systems and basidiomes sampled in the forest stands. The phytobiont in the ectomycorrhizae was also identified through the comparison of ITS sequences from EcM root tips and leaves of F. grandifolia var. mexicana. Detailed descriptions on the morphology and anatomy of EcM systems and microscopical features of mantle layers and Hartig net are presented and illustrated.
