Glomeromycota is one of six recognized phyla within the kingdom Fungi. It includes 150 described species most of which are entirely epigeous (underground) and form arbuscules in the roots of plants. They are dependent on energy obtained through a symbiotic relationship with plants known as an arbuscular mycorrhiza.
