Summary The present study reports the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal association with 14 plant species colonizing a magnesite mine spoil in Salem, Tamil Nadu state, India. The soil was poor in Olsen-available P (5–45 kg/ha-1). Hyphal, arbuscular and vesicular infection was noticed. Infection ranged from 32 to 82%. Thirteen VAM fungal species were identified. Spores of Glomus fasciculatum and Gigaspora gigantea were commonly found in the magnesite mine spoil.
