Ericoid mycorrhizal symbiosis occurs on all continents, except Antarctica. Although ErM plants species richness is the highest in tropical and subtropical regions, they also represent an important vegetation component in temperate and arctic regions. Compared to well-known biogeography of ErM plants, we have very limited knowledge about the diversity and distribution of ErM fungi. Preliminary insights indicate that some ErM fungal species (Rhizoscyphus ericae) have a very broad distribution range. On the contrary, some species have much narrower distribution range restricted to a single hemisphere (Meliniomyces variabilis) or continent (Cairneyella variabilis).
