1. Fungal endophytes are microfungi that reside asymptomatically inside of leaf tissues, increasing in density and diversity through time after leaves flush. Previous studies have suggested that the presence of fungal endophytes in the harvest material of leaf‐cutting ants (Atta colombica, Guérin‐Méneville) may negatively affect the ants and their fungal cultivar.
