“Pisolithus spp. as ECM fungi on Eucalyptus grandis is well-documented; source quote supports beneficial growth effect even with less efficient protein-N utilization compared to Elaphomyces.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Pisolithus spp. are well-documented ECM fungi on Eucalyptus; growth benefit over non-mycorrhizal controls is biologically consistent and supported by the source quote.”
