Symbiomycota is a clade of fungi containing both Glomeromycota and Dikarya. [1] It was supported by phylogenetic analyses based on RNA and multilocus DNA datasets. [2] [3] More recent analyses using genome-scale data have not supported this clade and have recovered Glomeromycota within Mucoromycota instead. [4]
It includes all mycorrhizal fungi; hence, the name references symbiosis. [3] Although Endogone is a rare exception of a symbiotic fungus outside this group. [2] [5]
