B779: Ectomycorrhizae of Maine. 2 A Listing of Lactarius with the Associated Hosts (with Additional Information on Edibility)

Thirty-nine Lactarii have been collected and identified with their possible ectomycorrhizal associates for Maine. Many of the Lactarius are new reports for Maine. Most of the ectomycorrhizal relationships reported from Maine are confirmed by the work of others. The edibility comments are those of the authors from the popular mushroom guides mentioned. Colored photos of thirty-nine Lactarii are included.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1012/thumbnail.jp

TB119: Selected Relationships for Trace Metals in Maine Low Elevation Spruce-Fir Forest Floors

Results from the analysis of trace metals in the forest floor from three study areas northern Maine commercial spruce-fir stands showed significant, positive correlations were frequently evident between ash-free concentrations of Individual pairs of trace metals. Only Pb concentrations at one location were found to vary significantly among soil drainage classes. Overall, ash-free trace metal concentrations were less than what has been found at sites receiving high loadings of atmospheric deposition in the Northeast. Few historical data are available to adequately determine if Maine forest floor trace metal concentrations are greater than the natural levels expected in commercial forests, but it appears possible that current concentrations reflect contributions from the atmosphere above background conditions.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1079/thumbnail.jp
