<p>•    Field samples from two coexisting plant species were examined to see whether they were colonised by distinct fungal communities, and whether the colonisation pattern differed between the two plant species.</p><p>•    Two plant species, <em>Agrostis capillaris</em> and <em>Ranunculus acris</em> from four mountain slopes in the Faroe Islands were examined for percentage root length colonisation (%RLC) including the amount of arbuscules and vesicles, and the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal types in the roots identified by cloning and sequencing.</p><p>•    Fewer AM fungal types were found in <em>Ranunculus acris</em> than in <em>Agrostis capillaris,</em> but the %RLC was greater in <em>Ranunculus acris</em>, which also showed seasonal variability. Vesicles were more abundant in <em>Ranunculus acris.</em></p><p>•    Statistical analysis suggested that the AM fungal communities colonising the two plant species were distinct. The root colonisation in <em>Ranunculus acris</em> responded to other soil nutrients than the root colonisation in <em>Agrostis capillaris.</em></p>

Forty different medicinal plant species were investigated for arbuscular mycorrhizal association from Pookode Lake area, Wayanad district, Kerala. The spore density and percentage of infection varied with plant species. The percentage of AM fungal colonization ranged from 30 to 80. The highest AM fungal infection was exhibited in Centella asiatica (80%) and maximum spore population in Leucas aspera (690/100g). Totally 36 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species were recovered from the rhizosphere of 40 medicinal plant species belongs to 20 plant families. The arbuscular mycorrhizal spore species Glomus fasciculatum was found dominant.
