title: Ectomychorrizal DB: a symbiotic association database.
abstract: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species, a "Symbiotic" relationship between tress and fungi in forest has a great ecological and economic importance. Here is an attempt to describe database named "EctomycorrhizalDB", addressing ECM diversity of Central Himalaya (Kumaun region), with special emphasis on their characterization, physical properties and morphological features along with specifications. This database would help the scientific community to draw a better understanding of the environmental factors that affects species diversity.
