Funneliformis is a genus of fungi in the family Glomeraceae. All species are arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that form symbiotic relationships (mycorrhizaa) with plant roots. The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by Arthur Schüßler and Christopher Walker, with Funneliformis mosseae (originally described in 1968 as a species of Endogone) as the type species. The generic name refers to the funnel-shaped spore base present in several species.[1]
