Metabarcoding of DNA extracted from root samples of both species following surface sterilization, and others without surface sterilization was used to determine if there were shared fungal endophytes in the roots of both species that could form a common mycorrhizal network between them. A wide variety of fungi were recovered from primers amplifying the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS2). Sixty-six fungal sequences were shared by surface-sterilized roots of both orchid and ash, among them arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (<jats:italic>Claroideoglomus, Dominikia, Glomus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Rhizophagus<\/jats:italic>), ectomycorrhizal fungi (<jats:italic>Inocybe<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Tomentella<\/jats:italic>), the broad-host root endophyte <jats:italic>Cadophora orchidicola<\/jats:italic>, along with root pathogens (<jats:italic>Dactylonectria, Ilyonectria, Pyricularia<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Xylomyces<\/jats:italic>) and fungi of unknown function.
