The pin oak seedlings had either Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) ectomycorrhizae or natural ectomycorrhizae (controls). The sawtooth seedlings had either Pt, Thelephora terrestris (Tt), or natural (controls) ectomycorrhizae. At the end of two growing seasons, pin oak seedlings with Pt ectomycorrhizae were larger than control seedlings. Pt ectomycorrhizae also increased survival and growth of seedlings of sawtooth oak in comparison to seedlings with Tt or control ectomycorrhizae. ER -
