Endogone
ENDOGONE Link: Fr., 1823 (Syst. Mycol. 2: 295); 12 spp. (Thaxter, 1922 — ILLUS.; Gerdemann and Trappe, 1974 — illus. and key to spp.; Berch and Fortin, 1983a, 1983b, 1984 — illus.; Berch and Castellano, 1986; Gibson et al., 1986; Yao et al., 1996 — KEY to SPP. and illus.; Blaskowski et al., 1998 — new sp.).
Reproduction only by zygospores formed in sporocarps. Zygospores more or less smooth-walled, containing a single zygospore. Suspensors apposed, more or less equal, with a single septum, in contact along the entire length. Saprobic, ectomycorrhizal, or both.

Gerdemann and Trappe (1974) departed from Thaxter’s (1922) concept of Endogone, it contained taxa with chlamydospores and zygospores, because they included only those species that formed zygospores in sporocarps. Yao et al. (1995, 1996) further restricted Endogone to those species that produced suspensors that were in contact with one another along the entire length. Those taxa in which the suspensors did not touch one another were transferred to a new genus, Youngiomyces. (Yao et al., 1995). Endogone pisiformis has been grown in culture (Berch and Fortin, 1983; Dalpé, 1990) and induced to produce sporocarps (Berch and Castellano, 1986).
