Global distributions and plant associations of the ecologically diverse ascomycete order Helotiales
Background Fungi in plant root systems are key to understanding the dynamics and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Whereas our knowledge of below-ground plant-fungus symbioses has derived mainly from studies of mycorrhizal and pathogenic fungi, recent studies have uncovered an unexpected diversity of ecological niches occupied by root-associated fungi. The fungal order Helotiales is…
