Ectomycorrhizal communities in a Tuber aestivum Vittad. orchard in Poland

Cultivation of the Burgundy truffle, Tuber aestivum Vittad., has become a new agricultural alternative in Poland. For rural economies, the concept of landscaping is often considerably more beneficial than conventional agriculture and promotes reforestation, as well as land-use stability. Considering examples from France, Italy, Hungary and Spain, truffle cultivation stimulates economic and social development of small, rural communities. Because there is no long tradition of truffle orchards in Poland, knowledge regarding the environmental factors regulating the formation of fruiting bodies of T. aestivum is limited. Thus, knowledge concerning ectomycorrhizal communities of T. aestivum host species is crucial to ensuring successful Burgundy truffle production. We investigated the persistence of T. aestivum ectomycorrhizae on roots of hazel (Corylus avellana L.) and oak (Quercus robur L.) and checked the host-species influence on community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi. The study was conducted in an experimental plantation located in eastern Poland and established in 2008. We demonstrated that the number of fungal taxa was not significantly different between oak and hazel. However, the species composition differed between these two host trees. During the three-year study, we observed that species richness did not increase with the age of the plantation.

Truffles are hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungi of ecological interest for forestry in soils of the northern hemisphere, and of economical relevance for food markets worldwide. The molecular mechanisms that control truffle body formation are largely unknown, as well as the environmental factors that are likely involved. Among the latter, it has been hypothesized that soil-borne communities may have an impact on truffle production. To address this question, we investigated bacterial and fungal communities resident in productive versus adjacent non-productive grounds of the white truffle Tuber magnatum by using PCR-DGGE. Although bacterial communities were generally highly similar across all samples within the grounds, profiles did cluster according to the productivity of circumscribed niches, and a Moraxella osloensis population appeared to be associated with productive sites. Fungal communities revealed several populations, yet showed no obvious patterns in relation to productivity, although Mortierella and Fusarium oxysporum appeared to be more abundant in the productive area. Our results offer a first glimpse into microbial communities thriving in truffle productive niches, and open the question as to whether microbemediated mechanisms may facilitate/inhibit truffle fruiting-body production or, vice versa, i.e. whether truffle sporocarps have an impact on the microbes living in the rhizosphere.

“…Belfiori et al (2012) found that the diversity of ectomycorrhizal species is lower in cultivated plantations than in natural habitats, higher in Tuber brumale -colonized plants than that of T. melanosporum -colonized plants (Belfiori et al 2012), and higher in productive plantations than in the nonproductive ones (De Miguel et al 2014). In the T. magnatum natural habitats, the most abundant fungal species belong to Thelephoraceae, followed by Sebacinaceae, Inocybaceae, and Russulaceae (Murat et al 2005; Leonardi et al 2013). In fact, Thelephoraceae are frequently found in mature truffle orchards, but the Hebeloma, Laccaria, and Russula species seem to associate with unproductive grounds (De Miguel et al 2014).…”

Macrofungi refers to all fungi that produce visible fruiting bodies. These fungi are evolutionarily and ecologically very divergent. Evolutionarily, they belong to two main phyla, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, and many of them have relatives that cannot form visible fruiting bodies. Ecologically, macrofungi can be associated with dead organic matter, plants, and animals. Here we review our current understanding of population structure and biogeography of macrofungi associated with animals. Their interactions, functions, and patterns of coevolution are described and discussed. Our focus is on studies using molecular markers. Our analyses suggest that the types of fungi–animal associations play an important role in the structure of these animal-associated fungal populations.
