Fig. 1. Examples of ectomycorrhizae observed on roots of Quercus afares in natural forest of Akfadou (Algeria). A, ECM Lactarius sp.1: contact exploration type, simple with orange color (× 20). B, ECM Lactarius sp.1: cross section, thick and compact pseudoparenchymatous mantle. C, ECM Pisolithus tinctorius long-distance exploration type (× 40). D, ECM P. tinctorius: cross section, with plectenchymatous mantle and rhizomorphs (× 400). E, ECM 42: monopodial and yellowish brown color (× 40). F, ECM 42: cross section, plectenchymatous mantle with presence of tannin cells (× 400). G, ECM Quercirhiza sp.1: monopodial and dark color with emanating hyphea (× 20). H, Quercirhiza sp.1: longitudinal section, pseudoparenchymatous mantle and para-epidermal Hartig network. I, ECM Thelephora terrestris (× 40). J, ECM T. terrestris: longitudinal section, compact plectenchymatous mantle with rhizomorph (× 400). K, ECM 1: ramified and greyish, medium-distance type. L, ECM 1: cross section, thick plectenchymatous mantle with compact outer mantle. M, ECM 25: monopodial-pyramidal, orange (× 20). N, ECM 25: cross section, pseudoparenchymatous mantle and periepidermal Hartig network on one layer cell (× 400). O, ECM 31: monopodial, straight, yellowish contact type (× 40). P, ECM 31: longitudinal section, contact exploration type, pseudoparenchymatous mantle with angular cells (× 400). Q, ECM Cenococcum geophylum: with rather thick emanating hyphea (× 40). R, C. geophylum: cross section, with star-like tightly glued hyphae, cenococcoid mantle (× 400).
