The widely held hypothesis that Glomeromycota fungi alone formed the ancestral land plant–fungus symbiosis (Pirozynski & Dalpé, 1989; Selosse & Le Tacon, 1998; Wang & Qiu, 2006; Parniske, 2008) has recently been challenged by new lines of evidence from molecular, cytological, functional and palaeontological studies. First, liverworts of the earliest divergent clade, the Haplomitriopsida, form a mutualistic mycorrhiza-like relationship, whereby there is reciprocal exchange of plant carbon (C) for fungal nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), with members of the Mucoromycotina (Bidartondo et al., 2011; Field et al., 2014), a fungal lineage considered basal or sister to the Glomeromycota (James et al., 2006; Lin et al., 2014). Second, other basal plants, including complex and simple thalloid liverworts and hornworts, enter into associations with both Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycota fungi, sometimes simultaneously (Bidartondo et al., 2011; Desiro et al., 2013). Third, dual partnerships involving fungi with affinities to Glomeromycota and Mucoromycotina have been reported in fossils of early vascular plants from the Devonian (Strullu-Derrien et al., 2014).Turning to the fungal associations of the extant representatives of the early diverging vascular plant lineages, the glomeromycete identity of fungi in ferns (Monilophyta) has never been questioned–a consensus borne out by cytology and limited DNA sequencing data (Wang & Qiu, 2006; Ogura-Tsujita et al., 2013). By contrast, the unusual cytology of fungal colonization in lycopods (Lycopodiophyta), highly reminiscent of the cytology reported in the Haplomitriopsida genus Treubia (Duckett et al., 2006), suggested unique fungal partnerships or ‘lycopodioid mycothallus interactions’(Duckett & Ligrone, 1992; Schmid & Oberwinkler, 1993) until a molecular study detected Glomeromycota in this group (Winther & Friedman, 2008), thus ‘laying to rest over a century of speculations and uncertainty’surrounding their identity (Leake et al., 2008). However, Winther & Friedman’s study, and a more recent investigation proposing a basidiomycete as the main symbiont in a member of the Lycopodiaceae (Horn et al., 2013; but see rebuttal in Strullu-Derrien et al., 2014 criticizing their limited molecular and microscopical data), used methods that do not detect Mucoromycotina fungi. Therefore, it remains to be determined whether members of the Mucoromycotina related to the fungi known to enter into mutualism with basal liverworts
