The aim of this study was to test whether the diversity, structure and composition of orchid mycorrhizal (OrM) fungal community are influenced by the orchid patches and management intensity in semi-natural grasslands. We found that investigated orchid species were mostly associated with Ceratobasidiaceae and Tulasnellaceae and, to a lesser extent, with Sebacinales. Of all the examined factors, the intensity of grazing explained the largest proportion of variation in OrM fungal as well as total fungal community composition in soil.
