  abstract = {{A}im: {E}coregions and the distance decay in community similarity are fundamental concepts in biogeography and conservation biology that are well supported across plants and animals, but not fungi. {H}ere we test the relevance of these concepts for ectomycorrhizal ({ECM}) fungi in temperate and boreal regions. {L}ocation: {E}urope. ime {P}eriod: 2008-2015. {M}ajor {T}axa {S}tudied: {E}ctomycorrhizal fungi. {M}ethods: {W}e used a large dataset of similar to 24,000 ectomycorrhizas, assigned to 1350 operational taxonomic units, collected from 129 forest plots via a standardized protocol. {W}e investigated the relevance of ecoregion delimitations for {ECM} fungi through complementary methodological approaches based on distance decay models, multivariate analyses and indicator species analyses. {W}e then evaluated the effects of host tree and climate on the observed biogeographical distributions. {R}esults: {E}coregions predict large-scale {ECM} fungal biodiversity patterns. {T}his is partly explained by climate differences between ecoregions but independent from host tree distribution. {B}asidiomycetes in the orders {R}ussulales and {A}theliales and producing epigeous fruiting bodies, with potentially short-distance dispersal, show the best agreement with ecoregion boundaries. {H}ost tree distribution and fungal abundance (as opposed to presence/absence only) are important to uncover biogeographical patterns in mycorrhizas. {M}ain {C}onclusions: {E}coregions are useful units to investigate eco-evolutionary processes in mycorrhizal fungal communities and for conservation decision-making that includes fungi.},
