Endogonales

Endogonales is an order of fungi within the class of Zygomycota. It contains only one family, Endogonaceae, with four genera.

Life cycle
Distinguished by their production of small sporocarps containing many zygospores, which are eaten by rodents and distributed by their feces.

They also produce a fetid odor that attracts mammals and encourages them to eat their fruiting bodies, and so spread their spores.

Food
Like all fungi, they are heterotrophs with some being described as saprobes (with weak evidence), while others are ectomycorrhizal (are the only members of the Zygomycota to do so).
