Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are the key symbionts of numerous woody plants in many ecosystems worldwide (Smith & Read,2008; Tedersoo, 2017). They positively affect host plant nutrient uptake (Smith & Read, 2008) and take part in essential ecosystem processes such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling and decomposition of organic matter (Read & Perez-Moreno, 2003; Clemmensen et al., 2014; Shah et al., 2016). The majority of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) plants fully depend on the mycorrhizal symbionts and cannot complete their life cycle without these root associations (Smith & Read, 2008). It has been long recognized that the absence of co-evolved EcMF can present a significant barrier to successful establishment of introduced EcM trees (Mikola, 1969; Poynton, 1979; Richardson et al., 2000a; Pringle et al., 2009). Dickie et al. (2010, 2017) proposed different strategies of alien EcM plants to overcome detrimental losses of mutualistic symbionts: (1) co-introduction of co-evolved mutualists; (2) association with familiar mutualists native to both native and alien ranges; and (3) novel associations with local species. Co-introductions of exotic EcMF with their plant hosts have been increasingly reported as a global phenomenon in recent years (Vellinga et al., 2009). In some cases, exotic EcMF can alter nutrient cycling and soil biochemistry (Chapela et al., 2001) or plant derived carbon competitive links (Wolfe et al., 2010).
