Abstract: Ectomycorrhizal symbionts of silver fir have been in Slovenia rarely analyzed and identified, thereby little is known about their diversity and distribution across Slovenia. The aim of this study was to identify ectomycorrhizal fungal symbionts of silver fir in silver fir natural distribution area in Slovenia. Ectomycorrhizal fungi were identified based on morphological and anatomical descriptions and by ITS DNA barcoding. Altogether we identified 86 different ectomycorrhizal symbionts of silver fir, many of them were in symbiosis with silver fir, in our study identified for the first-time. The most abundant ECM fungal taxa were assigned to Russula, Tomentella and Lactarius genus.
