Mycorrhizal ends with hyaline mantle (assuming colour of underlying root tissue); outer mantle layers in plan view with subangular to polygonal cells, some sides rounded, often forming rosettes of 4-5 cells; plan view of middle mantle layers with noninterlocking epidermoid cells; inner mantle layers in plan view with obtusely branched hyphae; mantle in sulfo-vanillin with strongly positively reacting isolated cells. |
