Symbiomycota
Clade of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Symbiomycota is a clade of fungi containing both Glomeromycota and Dikarya.[1] It includes all mycorrhizal fungi except Endogone[2][3] and the Mucoromycotina fine root endophytes, which both belong in Mucoromycota.[4]

Symbiomycota is supported by phylogenetic analyses based on ribosomal DNA and rpb2 data but not from rpb1 data.[2][5][1] More recent analyses using genome-scale, multilocus protein sequence data have either recovered this clade[6] or have failed to recover it, with Glomeromycota falling within Mucoromycota instead (forming Mucoromyceta).[7][8][9]
