Recent studies and molecular data reveal that members of the Thelephoraceae are common ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with the Dipterocarpaceae. The suspected Thelephoroid fungus FP160 was isolated from ectomycorrhizal roots of a Shorea parvifolia (Dipterocarpaceae) seedling and kept in the FRIM culture collection. In subsequent inoculation experiments it was able to form morphologically similar ectomycorrhizas with seedlings of two other dipterocarps, namely Hopea odorata and S. leprosula, and the exotic fast-growing legume, Acacia mangium. Therefore, there is a need to identify this fungus for further studies on its possible utilization in inoculation and planting programmes and also to expand our limited knowledge of Malaysian mycodiversity. In this paper the morphological characteristics of the ectomycorrhizas formed by FP160 with H. odorata and A. mangium are described and the fungus identified using molecular methods as a member of the genus Tomentella, family Thelephoraceae. It was not possible to identify the fungus to the species level due to the limited number of sequences available for tropical Thelephoraceae in the public databases. } }
