V talnih vzorcih različno onesnaženih ploskev v bukovih sestojih smo analizirali talno združbo ektomikoriznih gliv. V obdobju od 1998 do 2001 smo zmikobioindikacijsko metodo določali tipe ektomikorize v standardnem volumnu tal različno onesnaženih ploskev. Gozdne raziskovalne ploskve so bile izbrane v bližini termoenergetskih objektov (onesnaženo območje: Zavodnje - Prednji vrh in Zasavje - Dobovec) in v okolici Kočevske Reke (referenčno, neonesnaženoobmočje: Preža in Moravške gredice). Identificirali smo 88 različnih tipov ektomikorize iz skupnega števila 95.044 kratkih korenin. 48 tipov smo določili do vrste, 18 do rodu, za preostalih 22 pa nismo našli ustreznega opisa. Domnevamo, da precejšnje število sodi še k neopisanim tipom ektomikorizevečino slednjih (31 opisov) predstavljamo s kratkimi opisi v članku. Med posameznimi območji smo evidentirali razlike v vrstni sestavi tipov ektomikorize. Iz identificiranih tipov smo izločili dominantne in pogoste vrste, med katerimi so morda ključne vrste ektomikoriznih talnih združb bukovih sestojev.Belowground ectomycorrhizal fungal communities at fagus stands were analysed. Eectomycorrhiza types were identified in soil cores from differently polluted beech forest research plots in the 1998 - 2001 period by mycobioindication method. Forest research plots were situated in the vicinity of thermal power plants (polluted plots: Zavodnje - Prednji vrh and Zasavje - Dobovec) and in unpolluted areas (in the vicinity of Kočevska Reka: Preža and Moravške gredice). Eighty-eight different ectomycorrhiza types were determined from a total of 95,044 root tips. Among them, 48 were identified down to the species level and 18 to the genus levelfor 22 of them, no similarity was found with any of the already described types, so the majority of them are probably undescribed types. Short descriptions of 31 ectomycorrhiza types (most of themare undescribed types) are presented in this article. However, there are differences in species diversity of the types. Among the identified types of ectomycorrhizae, the dominant and common species were selected, some of which are probably the key species of belowground ectomycorrhizal communities of beech forests
