Fagus sylvatica - European beech #176214753
Description
The root system is shallow, even superficial, with large roots spreading out in all directions. European beech forms ectomycorrhizas with a range of fungi including members of the genera Amanita, Boletus, Cantharellus, Hebeloma, Lactarius,[citation needed] and with the species Ramaria flavosaponaria; these fungi are important in enhancing uptake of water and nutrients from the soil.
