👉 Aphelidomycota are a group of fungi that have a common ancestor with the true mycorrhizal fungi, which are closely related but differ in their metabolism and endosymbiotic nature. They are characterized by a complex network of mutualistic relationships between the fungus and its host plant, involving symbiotic growths and mutual exchange of nutrients. This diversity is crucial for the survival of many plants and plays an essential role in ecological interactions.
