  • Myco-ecological studies of natural morel bearing sites in Shivalik hills of Himachal Pradesh, India S. Kamal M. Tiwari R. D. Rai R. C. Upadhyay S. K. Singh Biología myco ecology microbes Morchella soil elements Seven natural morel-bearing sites were investigated during fruiting season of Morchella fortheir physico-chemical and soil microbiota to determine conditions required for morelfructification. Sandy loam soils with humus and high aeration supported the morelfruiting. Soil temperature between 18-22.7 C, air temperature 23-27 C at low elevationsand 18-27 C at high elevations, pH slightly acidic to neutral (6.5 to 7.0) and high electricalconductivity (44.4 to 176.3 µS) were recorded during natural occurrence of morel fruiting.Elemental analysis of soil revealed high carbon, nitrogen, calcium, nitrates, sodium andlead with low phosphates, chlorides and potassium below the fruit body in comparison tosoil away from the fruit body. Hyphomyces ocraseus, Phoma sp., Blastomyces, Acremoniella,Gliomastix and Cladosporium were invariably found associated with the soil beneathMorchella. Four bacterial species, namely, Micrococcus luteus, Micrococcus varians,Bacillus sphaericus and Pseudomonas spp., were also isolated from almost all the naturalmorel bearing sites. These myco-ecological conditions of natural morel bearing sites are ofsignificance in controlled domestication trials. 2004 artículo científico 1534-2581 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68516101 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=685 Micología Aplicada International application/pdf Colegio de Postgraduados Micología Aplicada International (México) Num.1 Vol.16
