Abstract

Trechispora (Hydnodontaceae) is considered as a soil-inhabiting or white-rot decomposer, However, some species in the genus are frequently collected in soil, a typical feature of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Ectomycorrhizal basidiomes are found in neotropical and subtropical region, but taxonomical information and DNA sequences of root fungi and basidiomes in native Atlantic Rainforest are poorly known. Basidiomes and samples of soil and roots were collected in the Atlantic rain forest, in Florian?polis, Brazil. Barcoding sequences of the ITS region were obtained from all samples type, and sequences were placed in phylogenies through maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses. Two root sequences correspond to Trechispora genus, and suggested a root associated ecology, possibly ectomycorrhizal. Other morphotype belongs to Hydnodontaceae. The analysis of isotope abundance from three sites in Brazil and French Guiana suggested that Trechispora thelephora could have the same signature as ectomycorrhizal basidiomes. Other Trechispora may not be ectomycorrhizal and this genus remain characterized by a diverse ecology and morphology. Traditionally, Trechispora is classified as saprophytic fungi, yet molecular analyses with environment samples from the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil revealed a new lineage of EcM fungi. More investigations in subtropical regions may detect how conserved is this ecology among Trechispora species, and even reveal other ectomycorrhizal lineages.
