“…In short, these species are not differentiated in the markets and the same commonly used name ("niscalo") refers to all of them (Bonet et al, 2008), so statistics contain several species of Lactarius genera. On the other side, accessible data does not include product differentiation from quality determinants, although quality is the most important factor determining mushroom prices (Rowe, 1997;Yun et al, 1997;Boa, 2004). This accessible data includes weekly demand of saffron milk caps at Barcelona Central Market (dependent variable in the econometric model).…”

a b s t r a c tWild edible mushroom demand has increased substantially in OECD countries in the last few years. Nevertheless, few studies have been published in recent years on these markets. The main objective of this paper is to characterise the saffron milk cap (Lactarius deliciosus Fr.) demand in Spain. Data sources in this study come from main Central Markets in Spain. Using econometric methods, we have found that the consequence of an increase in the price of the saffron milk cap has a negative effect on demand. However, changes in the percentage of persons born in Catalonia every year exercise a positive effect, and price increases in the Madrid market could also induce an increase in the Lactarius deliciosus demand in the Barcelona Central Market. The consequences of chanterelle imports on the Catalan demand for the saffron milk cap appear to be negative. Finally, results indicate that the saffron milk cap and oyster mushroom behave as complementary goods and, therefore, consumption of one of these mushrooms reinforces the other's consumption.

“…Other taxonomically related fungi, e.g., T. bakamatsutake Hongo, T. caligatum (Viv.) Ricken, and T. magnivelare (Peck) Redhead, are also called Matsutake mushrooms (Imazeki and Hongo, 1987;Rowe, 1997;Hosford et al, 1997;Wang et al, 1997). Few edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms have been cultivated under controlled conditions (Godbout and Fortin, 1990;Hall and Wang, 1998a).…”

Tricholoma matsutake forms ectomycorrhizas with Pinus densiflora under field conditions. The present study aimed to test the ability of T. matsutake isolates to form mycorrhizas with aseptic seedlings of P. densiflora in vitro. Pine seeds were germinated aseptically on a nutrient agar medium, and pairs of 1-wk-old seedlings were transplanted into polymethylpentene bottles containing autoclaved sphagnum moss/vermiculite substrate. The substrate was saturated with nutrient medium containing glucose. At the same time, the bottles were inoculated with a T. matsutake isolate. Three mo after inoculation, the fungus formed a sheath and Hartig net on the pine lateral roots. Ectomycorrhizas were also confirmed on 4-6-mo-old seedlings which showed the same or slightly better growth than the control plants. These results indicate that cultured T. matsutake mycelium can form true ectomycorrhizas with P. densiflora seedlings in vitro.

“…Ricken, T. magnivelare (Peck) Redhead, etc.) as "Matsutake mushrooms" (Hosford et al, 1997;Rowe, 1997). These fungi have been regarded as ectomycorrhizal fungi based on their ecological characteristics, i.e., epigeous fruiting and obvious relationships with ectomycorrhizal tree species.…”

Mycorrhizal association of Tricholoma matsutake with Pinus densiflora was studied. A naturally established P. densiflora stand (age: ca. 45 yr) where occurrences of T. matsutake sporocarps had been confirmed was studied in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Pine root systems connected with T. rnatsutake sporocarps via the fungal white mycelia were sampled in October 1997. The sampled pine roots were covered overall with white mycelia. Under a dissecting microscope, the mycelia were confirmed to form fungal sheaths on the lateral roots. Under a light microscope, transverse and longitudinal sections of these roots showed the presence of both fungal sheaths and Hartig nets, which are typical of ectomycorrhizas. The fungal sheath was ca. 1.5-20/~m in thickness, and felt prosenchymatous in texture. Hartig nets developed continuously at the cortex and extended to the boundary between cortical cells and endodermal cells. The same ectomycorrhizal morphotype on the pine was also recovered from inside the same mycelial colony (i.e., "shiro") of T. matsutake from winter to summer. These results suggest that T. rnatsutake has a perennial ectomycorrhizal association with P. densiflora.
