Abstract The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of a mycobiont isolated from Pisonia grandis R. Br. (Nyctaginaceae) was sequenced and a comparison made with sequences currently available in the GenBank Nucleotide Database. The mycobiont ITS sequence showed a high degree of homology (up to 87% over 637 bases) with a number of Thelephoraceae isolates, strongly implying that it belongs in that taxon. Published descriptions of hyphal morphology also show broad correlation between the P. grandis mycobiont and the Thelephoraceae isolates. The data highlight the usefulness of ITS sequence data in mycorrhizal research and the need for researchers to submit to the database ITS sequence data for mycorrhizal fungi with which they are working.
