At present, it is generally accepted that the spread of filamentous fungi to land habitats was mediated by symbiotic complexes with phototrophic organisms, such as lichens or arbuscular mycorrhiza [1] (James et al., 2006). The organization of extant aphelids [2] and cryptomycots allows us to suggest that the expansion of filamentous fungi was preceded by ancestral fungal groups parasitizing microalgae that were present in both humid and arid environments...
