Abstract

This paper begins with a brief comparison of Franz Kamienski's 1882 view of the fungus-root associations and nutrition of Monotropa hypopitys with our current understanding. The rest of this paper is a re-publication of Shannon Berch's 1985 translation of Kamienski's breakthrough paper in which it was asserted that Monotropa forms a mutualistic symbiosis and is nourished by fungi associated with the roots of neighbouring trees.
