germination is poorly understood. We isolated <em>Tulasnella</em> OrM fungi from 11 populations representing nine Italian regions associated with the orchid <em>Orchis italica</em>. We performed <em>in vitro</em> germination experiments using both single and two OrM isolate combinations of <em>Tulasnella</em> and <em>Ceratobasidium</em> isolates found in <em>O. italica</em> and co-occurring orchids. We performed an <em>in situ</em> reciprocal translocation experiment of <em>O. italica</em> seeds in two populations and we experimentally planted seeds into two unoccupied sites to test whether the presence of suitable OrM may limit its distribution. <em>In vitro</em>, <em>Tulasnella</em> isolates initiated germination, but only two isolates resulted in seedling development, while seeds did not germinate in the presence of <em>Ceratobasidium</em> isolates. Combinations of two <em>Tulasnella</em> isolates had lower germination rates compared to single isolates. Reciprocal translocations revealed that seeds from the same population had higher germination rates. Protocorms developed in one unoccupied site, with the associated fungus identified as <em>Tulasnella</em> spp. These results suggest that <em>Tulasnella</em> vary in their efficacy in seed germination and <em>O. italica</em> has a narrow specialization on <em>Tulasnella</em>. Such information is important for understanding the range limits of orchids and their ecological dependency on OrM fungi.</p></section> <div class="article-metadata-panel clearfix at-ArticleMetadata"></div> <div class="kwd-group"><a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""in vitro experiments""><em>in vitro</em> experiments</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""orchid mycorrhizal fungi"">orchid mycorrhizal fungi</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""Orchis italica""><em>Orchis italica</em></a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="mutualism">mutualism</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword=""reciprocal translocation"">reciprocal translocation</a>, <a class="kwd-part kwd-main" href="javascript:;" data-keyword="Tulasnella"><em>Tulasnella</em></a></div>  <div class="widget widget-ArticlePubStateInfo widget-instance-OUP_ArticlePubStateInfo"> </div> <div class="article-metadata-standalone-panel clearfix"></div> <div class="copyright copyright-statement">© The Author(s) 2024.
