Remarks

• public notes
  Mycorrhizal systems seldom monopodial- pinnate, ends brownish due to root colour; outer mantle layers in plan view with ring- or star-like pattern (not clear from the pictures provided); middle mantle layers in plan view ring- or star-like (not clear from the pictures provided); mantle in section with heap-like arranged hyphae; in ultrastructure matrix of mantle fibrous and moderately electron dense, warts of hyphae moderately electron dense, homogeneous, round to oval and occurring on the outer side of the mantle hyphae.
