So far as we know, the ants which rely on fungi as a dominant food source belong to Attini and Solenopsidini, while most attine cultivar fungi are members of genus Leucoagaricus and Leucocoprinus (Basisiomycotina: Agaricales: Lepiotaceae), with a minority belonging to members of Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina.

蚂蚁与真菌间的共生关系已具有长达5000多万年的协同进化历史，迄今已知的与真菌共生的蚂蚁主要为爱特蚁族和火蚁族的种类，而蚂蚁培养的真菌主要属于担子菌亚门伞菌目环柄菇科白环蘑属和白鬼伞属，少数种类属于子囊菌亚门和半知菌亚门。
