“…The lowest proportion of sterile mycelia was 11-16% from Trachycarpus fortunei [94], with the highest proportion of 54% from Quercus ilex [95]. Gnavi et al [96] isolated 88 endophytes from Posidonia oceanica, of which 21 (23%) were sterile mycelia, while Mattoo and Nonzom [97] isolated 681 endophytes from Ephedra gerardiana, but most (499 isolates, 73.2%) were sterile mycelia.…”

A review of selected studies on fungal endophytes confirms the paucity of Basidiomycota and basal fungi, with almost 90% attributed to Ascomycota. Reasons for the low number of Basidiomycota and basal fungi, including the Chytridiomycota, Mucoromycota, and Mortierellomycota, are advanced, including isolation procedure and media, incubation period and the slow growth of basidiomycetes, the identification of non-sporulating isolates, endophyte competition, and fungus–host interactions. We compare the detection of endophytes through culture-dependent methods and culture-independent methods, the role of fungi on senescence of the host plant, and next-generation studies.
