Gametophytes of eusporangiate ferns

[Eric Grunden]

I was wondering if any of you plant people can give me information
about the endophytic fungi that live within the gametophytes
of eusporangiate ferns. Are they serving a purpose similar to
mycorrhizae or something different? What genus are they?

I shall ask the mycology newsgroup as well. Thanks.........
