Orchids keep the ascomycetes outside: A highly diverse group of ascomycetes colonizing the velamen of epiphytic orchids from a tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador

Orchid mycorrhizal detection, based only on fungal isolation from roots, is biased due to difficulties in isolating the respective fungi. Previous investigations have shown that mostly ascomycetes, housed in the sheltered compartment of the velamen covering the roots of epiphytic orchids, are isolat...
