TLDR
The results clearly showed that recently diverged orchid species that occupy different habitats were characterized by significantly different mycorrhizal communities and call for more detailed experiments that aim at elucidating the contribution of habitat-specific adaptations in general and mycor Rhizal divergence in particular to the process of speciation in orchids.

Mycorrhizal specificity does not limit the distribution of an endangered orchid species

TL;DR: Results indicate that L. loeselii is a mycorrhizal generalist capable of opportunistically associating with a variety of fungal partners to induce seed germination, and indicates that availability ofFungal associates is not necessarily the determining factor driving the distribution of mycor rhizal plant species.

Exploiting mycorrhizas in broad daylight: Partial mycoheterotrophy is a common nutritional strategy in meadow orchids

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that partial mycoheterotrophy is a trophic continuum between the extreme endpoints of autotro PH, ranging from marginal to pronounced, in rhizoctonia-associated orchids, and plays a far greater role than previously assumed.

Mycorrhizal Associations and Trophic Modes in Coexisting Orchids: An Ecological Continuum between Auto- and Mixotrophy

TL;DR: Investigation of mycorrhizal communities and nutritional syndromes differed between seven green orchid species that co-occur under similar ecological conditions (coastal dune slacks) showed that mycor rhizoctonia-associated orchids differed significantly between orchidspecies, suggesting that there exists an ecological continuum between the two syndrome.

Biogeography of Orchid Mycorrhizas

TL;DR: The geographical distribution of mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) remains poorly understood as discussed by the authors, despite their importance for completion of the orchid life cycle, the geographical distribution is poorly understood.
