Paxillus obscurosporus in Collembola at Chokai, Phyllactinia sp. in Acari at
Chokai, Tuber aestivum in Acari at Chokai and Iwaki, Inocybe sp. in Collembola
at Chokai and Iwaki, and Trichoderma viride in Acari at Iwaki and Collembola at
Akita and Iwaki.
In addition to demonstrating the relationship between soil pH and AlEx and
sclerotia formation, our findings suggest that fungivory of Acari and/or Collembola
toward sclerotia-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi is a key biological factor regulating
sclerotia formation in soil. Detection of ectomycorrhizal fungal peaks using T-RFLP
analysis was effective in investigating the relationship between two types of soil
organisms (i.e., sclerotia-forming fungi and mesofauna) and describing their contribution to sclerotia formation.
