Lectin-hapten relationships are also important to the establishment of mycorrhizal relationships. In the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae there are binding sites specific for Concanavalin A in an extracellular matrix that surrounds hyphal walls (22,9 22.). When cultured in the presence of host roots the matrix and associated hapten (mannose) increase in abundance but gradually disappear after penetration and establishment of symbiosis (24.). Noninfective strains of the fungus lack the hapten even when grown in the presence of a potential host (2Sl). ... 

As it turns out, bilberry and spruce both have their own symbiotic mycorrizae in their rhizospheres, Hymenoscyphus ericae and Hebeloma crustuliniforme, respectively. If there would be any adaptive value to bilberry s phenolics, they should have less or no alleopathic activity on H. ericae but should inhibit growth or respiration of H. crustuliniforme beneath its competitor spruce.
