One of the promising new technologies, namely semiconductor sequencing, has thus far not been used in fungal diversity assessments. The developments in next generation sequencing technologies are, however, starting to reveal the true extent of fungal diversity. This is especially true for endophytic communities of fungi living in healthy plant tissue. The Kingdom Fungi adds substantially to the diversity of life, but due to their cryptic morphology and lifestyle, tremendous diversity, paucity of formally described specimens, and the difficulty in isolating environmental strains into culture, fungal communities are difficult to characterize.
