“…Furthermore, besides the mycorrhizal partner providing nutrition, it may also benefit the plant partner by conferring some form of protection, such as increased tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress (Lenoir et al 2016). Mycorrhizae may be subdivided into four main categories and these include: arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (EcM), ericoid mycorrhiza (ErM) and orchid mycorrhiza (OrM) (Soudzilovskaia et al 2019;Tedersoo and Bahram, 2019;Karliński, 2020). These subcategories are discussed as follows along with the evolutionary origins of this association.…”

Fungi have evolved many symbioses including different eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Mutualism is one of the symbioses and here both symbionts benefit from the interaction. The most common mutualistic relationships involving fungi are mycorrhiza and lichens. A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a roots of a plant and a fungus while lichen associates between a fungus and an algae. Many studies have performed to investigate these symbiotic relationships in depth, however, still have some debates on them, though many taxonomists rely on genetic analyses besides with traditional morphological data. In our study, it highlights the nature, importance, nutritional and pharmaceutical uses, and applications of these mysterious dual between fungi and plant and/or algae.
