summary‘Piceirhiza gelatinosa’ mycorrhizas from Schluchsee, but not from two other sites in the Black Forest, showed intercellular hyphae in the apical region of unbranched and finger‐like branched roots. The hyphae of the fungus were able to penetrate between the meristematic and immature cortical cells. In outer regions of the root, hyphae were arranged in layers one to two cells deep but towards the middle, single hyphae were most commonly encountered. The method of penetration and a possible relationship with abnormal growth are discussed.
