Distinct but Closely Related Sebacinales form Mycorrhizae with Coexisting Ericaceae and Orchidaceae in a Neotropical Mountain Area

Sebacinales form mycorrhizae with a variety of plant families including Ericaceae and Orchidaceae. Structurally, these mutual associations are quite distinct, with specific structures largely depending on the individual plant family. Many plants that are associated with Sebacinales occur in the same habitats and it has been questioned whether they share a common pool of mycobionts or are associated with different Sebacinales guilds.
