Abstract:

Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deoadara Roxb. Loud.), a member of Pinaceae, is an ever green tree of Himalayan origin and distributed from western Himalayan in Eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Western Nepal. Despite its usage in manufacturing of building material and furniture, it is an ectomycorrhizal host. In the present study, its four ectomycorrhizal fungi are characterized and identified using morpho-anatomic and molecular methods targeting its rDNA. The morphotypes of Peziza sp. MHSUC-01, Russula livescens and three species of Tomentella (Tomentella sp. 2ENA19_11, Tomentella sp. ENA35_13 & Tomentella sp. 2ENA35_13) are described first time from Pakistan.
