Rhizopogon amylopogon is a sub-genus of Rhizopogon containing seven species.[1]
- R. brunsii
- R. arctostaphyli
- R. kretzerae
- R. salebrosus
- R. pinyonensis
- R. ellenae
- R. subpurpurascens
Sub-genus Amylopogon are ectomycorrhizal fungi categorized as monotropoid mycorrhiza.[2] These fungi are characterized by the presence of a mantle, Hartig net, unique fungal peg, and intracellular hyphal complexes.[3] They are also classified by a specific and obligate symbiosis with members of Monotropoideae through a process known as myco-heterotrophy.[1][4][5] Monotropoideae species depend on Amylopogon fungi for carbon which they in turn acquire from members of Pinus in a host specific tripartite Hartig net exchange.
