Visit a few of the large commercial orchid nurseries. They will
undoubtedly tell you their mass-produced greenhouse grown orchids don't have
any mycorrhiza, & even if they did, it has nothing to do with taxonomy.

? Commercial orchid growers and orchid taxonomy are two separate realms.

Cereoid is rude, but he may be right. You haven't even mentioned the
author's name, let alone an example.

I am not inclined to get into orchid politics. I don't see how a name will
benefit you if you cannot deduce it (how many leading orchid taxonomists are
there?). Experience has shown me that whenever someone plays the thirty
years card this is a reliable sign of ignorance or ossification, so I have
adjusted my response accordingly.
