“…The mycorrhizal fungi in orchids are primarily basidiomycetes of Rhizoctonia-like groups (Dearnaley, 2007;Pereira et al, 2005a (Currah & Zelmer, 1992;Andersen & Rasmussen, 1996;Taylor et al, 2002;Dearnaley, 2007;Pereira et al, 2005aPereira et al, ,b, 2009). They are characterized by hyphae constriction in the septum, right-angle branching hyphae immediately after the septum, swollen cells, monilioid cells, sclerotia formation, a complex dolipore septum, absence of asexual spores, and a rare, difficult to observe sexual cycle (Stalpers & Andersen, 1996;García et al, 2006).…”
