Epiphytic orchids remain understudied with respect to their obligate mycorrhizal relationships – a key component of the integrated conservation model. Existing studies have revealed that these plants, like their terrestrial counterparts, commonly associate with ubiquitous basidiomycetes (e.g., Tulasnellaceae); however, few studies have verified their physiological role(s). Two strains of mycorrhizal fungi (UAMH 11541, UAMH 11543) were isolated from roots of an epiphytic orchid in south Florida, Encyclia tampensis; one was acquired from a seedling and one from a mature specimen. Seeds of four epiphytic taxa were subsequently inoculated (separately) with both fungal strains in vitro: E. tampensis, Epidendrum amphistomum, Epidendrum nocturnum,...
