Some people argue that we should just say AM fungi, since some VAM fungi don't produce vesicles.
I take the point of view that men lack certain morphological features, abut we still call them humans. I don't accept that a lack of some characteristic means you drop an important identifier from a name.
I do get an attitude, sometimes...... grin!
