MYCELIUM known to produce eetotrophic mycorrhizas can stimulate the growth of an endo-trophic tree species although it does not form an association with the roots. This was demonstrated in pot-culture experiments in which seedlings of Lawson cypress (Chamæcyparis lawsoniana Parl.) were raised in soil inoculated with Rhizopogon luteolus Fr.
