Seven ectomycorrhizae on oak (Quercus robur L.) from a Slovenian forest stand are described, five of them for the first time in detail. Four of these species could be identified (Lactarius chrysorrheus (Fr.) Fr., L. serifluus DC. ex Fr., Xerocomus subtomentosus (L. ex Fr.) Quel., X. armeniacus (Quel.) Quel., one unidentified species was given a preliminary name ("Quercirhiza squamosa"). Two identified species, already comprehensively characterized on other tree species, are presented shortly (Laccaria amethystina (Bolt ex Hooper) Murr., Cenococcum geophilum Fr.). Whereas some of the encountered species show considerable host specifity with oak (Lactarius chrysorrheus, L. serifluus and, in a lesser degree Xerocomus armeniacus), other species have a broader host range and can even grow with conifers (Xerocomus subtomentosus, Laccaria amethystina, Cenococcum geophilum). A key for all species was established. A possible use of ectomycorrhizal species as bioindicators is discussed.
