In trying to give an overview while reducing the amount of reading
necessary, I'd suggest the first 10 pages of the introduction in "Key to
Spores of the Genera of Hypogeous Fungi of North Temperate Forests with
special reference to animal mycopahgy" by Michael A. Castellano, James
M. Trappe, Zane Maser and Chris Maser; available from Mad River Press
Inc., 141 Carter Lane, Eureka, CA 95501
This introduction also give a good summation of the importance of
mycorrhizae to animal life via mycophagy. Many, if not most, of
hypogeous fungi appear to be dependant upon animal life for dispersal,
especially voles, squirrels, mice and other small rodents.
