Summary In a 3-year study of ectomycorrhizal diversity in 2 Norway spruce stands in Switzerland the macroscopically classified ectomycorrhizal types were analyzed microscopically to compare the results of the 2 approaches. A total of 22 ectomycorrhizal types were macroscopically classified in the 2 stands. Microscopic investigations — particularly of mantle structures — resulted in the identification of 7 additional types to give a total of 29. These additional types resulted from separation of macroscopically identical types occurring on both stands (type-pairs) at the microscopic level. The problematic nature of characterization and classification of ectomycorrhizas is discussed.
