Research Abstract

Several saprobic ammonia fungi and a mycorrhizal ammonia fungus were found from the urea-treated Pine (Pinus kesiya) forests in highlands of Thailand and Vietnam. Most saprobic species were ubiquitous and have been recorded from pine forests in subtropical to subarctic regions. The mycorrhizal species was identified as Hebeloma vinosophyllum or its allied species based on its morphological features and molecular analysis. Many micro fungi were isolated from the urea-treated soils. Above 80% of them showed cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzyme activities.
