Under the treat of climate changes, question of seedling production, as a one of the most important areas concerning forestry techniques in a whole, became more important, since both the successful forestation and quick development have been highly depending on the seedling quality. Mycorrhiza provides many benefits to both the seedlings and the adult trees. Ectomycorrhiza, formed with important conferous species of Pinaceae and hardwood species of Fagaceae and Betulaceae, are prevailing inside forest ecosystems. Several thousand fungal species are thought to form ectomycorrhizas on the global scale, and more than 250 have been recorded in Montenegro until now. Differences, expressed on ecological and functional significance of such diversity, are evident. Hence the value of individual species in seedling mycorrhization is different. During 2005-2009, collection containing 45 isolates of ectomycorrhizal fungi from Montenegro territory was formed. Based on literature data, and on hither experience in manipulation with these fungi, preliminary evaluations of individual fungi isolates for seedlig mycorrhization during nursery plant production were made. The aim of the paper is not only to emphasize the importance of seedling mycorrhization in forthcoming period, through the explanation of benefits which those treatment are enabling, but also to signify the necessity of examination of features of ectomycorrhizal fungi isolates from autochthonous populations.
