Species of ectomycorrhizal fungi in two ecosystems of the Plan Café locality

Abstract

The study was carried out with the objective of identifying the species of ectomycorrhizal fungi in two ecosystems of the Plan Café locality. Dichotomous keys were used to identify the ectomycorrhizal species found. The following morphological characteristics were observed: shape of the cap, type of foot, type of blades, color and odor of the mushroom. Three edible species (Calvatia gigantea (Batsch) Lloyd, Agaricus campestris (L.), Agrocybe Sp), one toxic (Chlorophyllum molybdites (G. Mey.) Massee) and two of little culinary value due to their size (Lactocollybia sp, Tetrapyrgos nigripes (Fr.) E. Horak). These results suggest going deeper into the frequency and abundance of the identified species, as well as into bioecological aspects that serve as a basis for their use on the two farms under study.
