Abstract
MOSSE has described the formation of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas in apple seedlings grown in sterilized soil to which sporocarps of a species of Endogone were added1. She states that “no attempt was made to sterilize the sporocarps since their loose structure makes this impossible”. Thus the identity of the endophytic mycelium in the apple roots with that of Endogone could not be proved.
