Abstract
Multiple mycorrhizal infections were found in association with root systems scale leaves, decaying micro sporophylls and epidermal tissues of Abies pindrow, Auracaria cunnighamii, Cycas circinalis, C. revoluta, Cupresses torulosa, Ephedra gerardiana, E. regeliana, Juniperus communis, Pinus helepensis, P. roxburghii, Podocarpus chinensis, Taxodium mucronatum, Thuja orientalis and Zamia floridana. Endomycorrhizae were prevalent in species of most families including Pinaceae which normally forms the ectomycorrhiza. Fungal hyphae colonized the young roots and formed coils, arbuscules and vesicles inside the cortical cells. Coiled and linear hyphae were very common, digestion stages were observed. Extrametrical mycelium was also found. Some endophytes other then VA, with septate, hyaline or coloured mycelium were found penetrating into the root. A mixture of endogonaceous spores formed the rhizosphere mycoflora.
