👉 Siphonorhinus is a genus of fungi in the class Sphaerophyta, commonly known as siphonorhins or siphonorhizobacteria. These bacteria are responsible for the transformation of plant roots into fungal hyphae that can then colonize and attack other parts of the plant. Siphonorhinus is often associated with a wide range of fungi and its diversity is crucial to understanding the ecology and evolution of fungi as a whole.
