Endophytism and endolichenism in Pezizomycetes: the exception or the rule?

Metagenomics and other culture-free tools have been, and will continue to be, critical for elucidating plant-fungi interactions, especially because these methods typically detect a far greater diversity of fungi than culture-based methods alone (U'Ren I et al i ., 2019).
