We studied the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate fungi (DSF) in two lycopods and 23 ferns species collected from the tropical montane cloud forest in central Veracruz, Mexico. This is the first report of the mycorrhizal status for 17 species. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were present in 11 species (44 %) which characterized by arbuscules and in a further 11 species were found with only hyphae and vesicles. The abundance of AMF in the roots varied with the species, and ranged…

A review of symbiotic fungal endophytes in lycophytes and ferns – a global phylogenetic and ecological perspective
TLDR
The occurrence of mycorrhizae across the taxa of pteridophytes bears a phylogenetic signal, as the derived ferns show a notable trend towards a growing independence from AM, in epiphytes more pronouncedly so than in terrestrial taxa.
Micorriza arbuscular, Mucoromycotina y hongos septados oscuros en helechos y licófitas con distribución en México: una revisión global
TLDR
To understand the role that plays the mycorrhiza in the establishment of ferns and lycophytes, it is necessary to include the gametophytic face in ecological, molecular and physiological experimental studies, and this information is important to implement conservation strategies.
Mycorrhizal relationships in Lycophytes and Ferns
TLDR
There are no experimental studies on the benefits of mycorrhizae for ferns, but field experiments suggest that there is a fine balance between positive and negative effects, so that many fern species have disposed of the fungi either generally or facultatively.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in field-collected terrestrial cordate gametophytes of pre-polypod leptosporangiate ferns (Osmundaceae, Gleicheniaceae, Plagiogyriaceae, Cyatheaceae)
TLDR
This study provides the first evidence for AM fungal colonization of wild gametophytes in the Plagiogyriaceae and Cyatheaceae, suggesting that mycorrhizal associations with AM fungi could widely occur in terrestrial pteridophytes.
Distribution of fungi in a Triassic fern stem
TLDR
This study presents the first depiction of fungal distribution throughout a larger portion of a fossil plant from the Triassic of Germany, suggesting that the fern was alive during fungal colonisation.
Pteridophyte fungal associations: Current knowledge and future perspectives
TLDR
A critical review of current knowledge of fungal associations across pteridophytes is provided and future directions making recommendations along the way are considered, finding the best conclusion that can be reached is that the fungal symbionts of pterids belong to the two fungal lineages Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycota.
The diversity of foliicolous lichens on ferns in two Brazilian tropical forests
TLDR
The results provide a first picture of diversity of foliicolous lichens on fern assemblages in tropical forests, and there are uncertainties about the mechanisms driving these interactions so more research is needed.
Host identity and functional traits determine the community composition of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in facultative epiphytic plant species
TLDR
New insights are offered into composition of AM communities as shaped by epiphytic plant host identity and functional traits and no functional differences derive from plant origin are offered.
Host identity and functional traits determine the community composition of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in facultative epiphytic plant species
TLDR
Investigation of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi harboured by 31 plant species occurring on the trunks of Phoenix dactylifera found that the plant affiliation to species strongly influenced the AMF community composition.

Mycorrhizal Associations in Ferns from Southern Ecuador
TLDR
A survey on the mycorrhizal status of neotropical ferns, focusing on previously neglected taxa, found that dark septate endophytes (DSE) prevailed in epiphytic species and were also common in terrestrial samples of predominantly epipHYtic species.

TLDR
The general mycorrhizal status and the occurrence of dark septate endophytes (DSE) in the pteridophytic flora of a Valdivian temperate forest in Patagonia, Argentina is described and clear differences in colonization patterns between eusporangiate/leptosporangiates and epiphytic/terrestrial species became evident.

TLDR
The results are the first detailed report of both AMF and DSE associations of these plant species and the mycorrhizal status of 27 plant species is reported for the first time.
A survey of the mycorrhization of Southeast Asian ferns and lycophytes.
TLDR
The present study screens 170 specimens of ferns and lycophytes from Malaysia and Sulawesi, representing 126 species, and reports the mycorrhizal colonisation status for 109 species and 19 genera for the first time.
Arbuscular Mycorrhizas and Dark Septate Fungi in Lycopodium paniculatum (Lycopodiaceae) and Equisetum bogotense (Equisetaceae) in a Valdivian Temperate Forest of Patagonia, Argentina
TLDR
It was observed that the habitat and substrate seem to play an important role in determining the colonization intensity, and the morphological AM colonization pattern was considered an Intermediate-type.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with common pteridophytes in Dujiangyan, southwest China
TLDR
The colonization and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with common pteridophytes were investigated in Dujiangyan, southwest China and there was no correlation between spore density and percentage root length colonized by AM fungi.
LOS HONGOS MICORRIZÓGENOS ARBUSCULARES COMO COMPONENTES DE LA BIODIVERSIDAD DEL SUELO EN MÉXICO
TLDR
In Mexico, the taxonomic diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been poorly studied, since most of studies have been focused to determine plant responses to myCorrhiza without considering the origin or identity of the endophyte.
The roots and mycorrhizas of herbaceous woodland plants: I. Quantitative aspects of morphology.
TLDR
The rate of VA mycorrhizal colony-expansion was found to be significantly faster in roots containing longitudinal air channels, which apparently facilitated the spread of hyphae.
Structural diversity in (vesicular)-arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses.
TLDR
It is concluded that when considering the physiology of the symbiosis and especially the issue of whether different fungus/host interfaces have specialized roles in transfer of inorganic nutrients and organic carbon between the partners, if there is no such specialization between hyphai coils and arbuscules, then the latter might not be necessary for the function of Paris-types.
