Evidence for endomycorrhizae in pennsylvanian age plant fossils

Science. 1981 May 1;212(4494):562-3. doi: 10.1126/science.212.4494.562.

Abstract

Fossil fungal chlamydospores from the tissues of a number of Pennsylvanian age fossil plants are described. Features such as size, shape, wall organization, and the structure of the subtending hyphal stalk suggest affinities with the modern endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus.
