This volume helps to bring the molecular biological revolution to some of these “missing lineages.” Included are some fungi fitting the classic ecological category of ‘sterile root fungus,’ as well as others that do sporulate, but only after very long incubation. Also, the conidial soil- and root-associated fungal genus Oidiodendron, which shares with ‘sterile root fungi’ the problem of having morphology so reduced that reliable species distinction has been next to impossible, is re-examined with advanced phenotypic methodologies to find distinctions reflecting the molecular genetic distinctions that are now known within the group. The first part of the volume, then, consists of biosystematic studies elucidating either the primary phylogenetic systematics, or the post-molecular phenotypic reinterpretation, of previously intractable groups of root-associated fungi and their relatives. The volume consists of 11 contributions.
