Despite their impressive genetic diversity, all mycorrhizal fungi complete their life cycle in close association with the roots through the establishment of a symbiosis ensuring a continuous flow of nutrients. They are divided into two main categories (Table 1) endomycorrhizae (arbuscular, ericoid, and orchid mycorrhi-zae) and ectomycorrhizae.
