Cairneyella is a genus of at least two ericoid mycorrhizal and root-associated fungi that is, to date, endemic to Australian plants, mostly from the family Ericaceae.[1] It has been demonstrated to form typical ericoid mycorrhizal coils in hair roots and is known to enhance the growth of ericaceous seedlings.[2] The genus is named in honour of John Cairney, an Australian-Scottish mycologist.
