In total, 66 distinct OTUs of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal fungi were found, which, to our knowledge, is the highest diversity of root-associated fungi that has yet been detected in a single orchid species. The mycorrhizal community was dominated by Tulasnella species, which were mainly detected by isolation from pelotons or cloning from root sections. The roots showed higher mycorrhizal colonization in summer, corroborating the frequent reports of Tulasnella from pelotons in this season. In contrast, two helotialean fungi, Varicosporium elodeae and Leohumicola sp., the latter of which was repeatedly isolated from pelotons, were significantly more abundant in the autumn.
