Dear Girish da,

Probably not, but you may compare Rhizopogon's association with other trees as provided in the book "Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Key Genera in Profile

Thanks Pradhan Ji for you valuable suggestions

Dear Girish, Rhizopogpn has been extensively studied experimentally, physiologically, taxonmically, and phylogenetically. We can say with high confidence that it forms mycorrhizae only with the Pinaceae and the Arbutoideae, a small group within the Ericaceae. However, Australasia has numerous Rhizopogpn lookalikes in the Boletaceae associated with Eucalyptus and other Myrtaceae, I suspect several to many of these might occur with dipterocarps as well. If you find any such specimens, I will be happy to work with you on their taxonomy.

Thanks Sir.

I have collected one species just like Rhizopogon from Dipterocarpus forest, identification work is still under progress, I shall inform you whenever I confirm it as a species of Rhizopogon. But most probably, it is a member of Sclerodermataceae.

With regards

Girish
