Abundant spores of AMF were found in the cavities of dead seeds of the non-host plant species Chenopodium album, one of the first colonizers of polluted soils on waste deposits from the pyrite smelter. The aim of this study was to verify this phenomenon and to find out whether the cavity inside the seeds or the organic matter released from decomposing seeds is crucial for sporulation.
