The occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with 19 plant species from 12 families growing in the Brda river valley in the Tuchola Forests is presented. The most frequently investigated plans were those from the families Cupressaceae and Plantaginaceae. Examination of trap cultures established from rhizosphere soil-root mixtures of the plans sampled revealed 20 described species of AMF, two undescribed Glomus spp., and three species of the genus Glomus that were difficult to recognize. The dominating AMF were members of the genus Glomus. Among the AMF found, G. claroideum was present, a species recorded for the first time in Poland. The distribution in Poland and in the world of the AMF encountered is shown
