Basidiospore germination in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tricholoma robustum and related species Tricholoma matsutake, Tricholoma caligatum, and Tricholoma ponderosum was examined. Basidiospore germination in T. robustum was induced by the presence of conspecific mycelium but not by the mycelium of related species. Germination also occurred on conditioned medium prepared by preculturing with conspecific mycelium. Gluconic acid, which is produced by T. robustum, also induced basidiospore germination in that species. After storage at 5 °C, germination of basidiospores in T. robustum was stimulated by incubation with conspecific mycelium but not with gluconic acid. These findings suggest that gluconic acid is but one of perhaps many germination-inducing substances produced by the mycelium of T. robustum. Key words: basidiospore germination, ectomycorrhizal fungi, gluconic acid, mycelial culture, Tricholoma robustum.

Pine mushroom (Tricholoma matsutake) is one of the most valued ectomycorrhizal fungi in Asia because of its unique pine-like aroma; however, due to exceptionally slow growth of its mycelia in artificial conditions, its cultivation has been largely deemed as not possible. Previous studies have shown that some bacteria and a few Trichoderma species associated with pine mushroom promoted the growth of T. matsutake isolate, but this effect is relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigated the diversity of microfungi in the fairy ring of T. matsutake and their effect on the growth of T. matsutake isolate. From 184 fungal isolates, 28 species were identified based on suitable molecular markers. Penicillium was most frequently observed (16 species), followed by Trichoderma (4 species). Five Zygomycota species showed a high promoting effect on the growth of T. matsutake while the effects of ascomycetes were mixed. The microfungi that promote the growth of T. matsutake can be useful for forest nursery and artificial cultivation of T. matsutake.

Tricholoma matsutake is an ectomycorrhizal fungus that dominates the microbial communities in the soil of pine and spruce forests. The mycorrhizas of this fungus have antimicrobial activity, although factors responsible for the antimicrobial activity have not been fully elucidated. The present study shows that fruit bodies of T. matsutake secreted hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which was produced by pyranose oxidase, and that the H2O2 thus secreted strongly inhibited the growth of mycelia of the phytopathological fungus Rhizoctonia solani. These findings suggest that fruit bodies of T. matsutake have antifungal activity and that the pyranose oxidase plays an important role in the antifungal activity.
