Endogonales (Pea Truffles), are small fungi producing their fruiting bodies below ground. Research has shown that many form mycorrhizas with crop and other plants, profoundly affecting nutrition and possibly other aspects of growth. This world-wide revision recognises nine genera, and provides keys for the identification of genera and species. Twenty-nine halftone plates and 14 line drawings.
