Glomeromycota
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have generally been classified in the Zygomycota (Order Glomales), but they do not form the zygospores characteristic of zygomycota, and all ‘glomalean’ fungi form mutualistic symbioses. Recent molecular studies have suggested a separate phylum is appropriate for the AM fungi, the Glomeromycota.
