Ectomycorrhizal fungi are diverse at multiple spatial scales
Bever et al. 2001 Bioscience 51:926: “No single sampling methodology was able to reveal all of the species at the site. In fact, it seems that each variant on the sampling methodology, whether it be green-house condition of the trap cultures, species of plant host used in the traps, treatment of soil prior to trapping, or season of sampling field soil, would reveal additional fungal species.”
