Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions to establish the sensitivity or otherwise of the following mycorrhizal fungi: Tricholoma saponaceum (Fr.) Quel., Tricholoma pessundatum (Fr.) Quel. and Amanita citrina Schaefer to the herbicides Dalapon and Aminotriazole. Various reactions were shown by the fungi. In general, the rareness of growth stimulation coupled with significant inhibition of mycelial growth are indications of the fungitoxicity of the herbicides.
