The natural occurrence of P. tinctorius is confirmed in 33 countries of the world and in 38 states in the USA. This ectomycorrhizal fungus is found associated with various tree species in nurseries, urban areas, orchards, forests and strip-mined spoils. Experiments have proved that this fungal symbiont forms ectomycorrhizae with Abies procera, Betula pendula, Carya illinoensis, 11 spp. of Eucalyptus, 30 spp. of Pinus, Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii, 2 spp. of Quercus and Tsuga heterophylla. Pisolithus was reported growing under natural conditions in association with 3 additional species of Betula, 2 spp. of Eucalyptus, 9 spp. of Pinus, and 8 spp. of Quercus, Populus tremuloides, Pseudotsuga grandidenta and Salix humilis. The fungal symbiont has great potential in forestation efforts because of the availability of practical techniques for artifically introducing it into nursery soils; its ability to improve tree survival and growth in the nursery and the field; its near worldwide distribution on a variety of sites; its broad host range encompassing many of the world''s important tree species.
