Effects of litter addition on ectomycorrhizal associates of a lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) stand in Yellowstone National Park
Article Abstract:
Research reveals that litter addition afects both nutrient levels and moisture content and temperature of the soils. Results show that litter addition leads to either negative effects, due to moisture-temperature relationships, or positive effects on the ectomycorrhizal communities. Data indicate that increased nutrients associated with litter addition does not influence ectomycorrhizal population.

Ectomycorrhizal fungal associates of Pinus contorta in soils associated with a hot spring in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Article Abstract:
The ectomycorrhizal fungi Dermocybe phoenecius and Inocybe sp. were found in thermal soils in Yellowstone National park but not in forest soils. These fungi could therefore be used to bioremediate acidic soil such as that found in mine tailings and coal spoils.

Ectomycorrhizal specificity patterns in a mixed Pinus contorta and Picea engelmannii forest in Yellowstone National Park
Article Abstract:
Most ectomycorrhizal fungi can develop a relationship with different host plants. Of 28 ectomycorrhizal fungal species isolated from a forest in Yellowstone National Park, less than 5% of the fungi were specific to a particular host plant.
