Five new lineages occur exclusively in tropical and subtropical habitats. Altogether 46 fungal genera were added to the list of EcM fungal taxa and we anticipate that this number will continue to grow rapidly as taxonomic works segregate species-rich genera into smaller, monophyletic units. Three genera were removed from the list of EcM groups due to refined taxonomic and phylogenetic information. In all, we suggest that EcM symbiosis has arisen indepen- dently in 78e82 fungal lineages that comprise 251e256 genera. The EcM fungal diversity of tropical and southern temperate ecosystems remains significantly understudied and we expect that these regions are most likely to reveal additional EcM taxa. ª 2013 The Authors.

Unfortunately, many rhizal ecology in situ but currently our ability to adequately EcM fungal taxa detected as environmental sequences do identify fungal DNA sequences and interpret the ecological not match sequences of fruit-body vouchers or pure cultures role of these species is lagging behind our ability to produce (Tedersoo et al., 2010).

Evidence suggests fungal lineages were previously considered root endophytes, that key enzyme functions are highly variable between (and saprotrophs or parasites.

Not surprisingly, the abundance and nants in the original studies (e.g. Oberwinkler et al., 2013). morphology of the extraradical mycelial system is the single It is important to understand which fungal taxa are EcM most important variable in determining enzymatic capacity and which are not. EcM fungi play fundamentally different (Tedersoo et al., 2012b). The presence and characteristics of roles in forest communities and in ecosystems compared to extraradical hyphae and rhizomorphs serve as proxies for other functional guilds such as fungal root endophytes and foraging strategies referred to as “exploration types” (Agerer, decomposers. For example, EcM fungi are uniquely adapted 2001, 2006). Species of medium-distance and long-distance to facilitate mineral nutrition of plants and to distribute recent exploration types tend to exhibit similar responses to climatic photosynthates into the mycorrhizosphere soil (Buee et al., gradients (Ostonen et al., 2011), N fertilization or pollution 2009).
