Hi James,
To answer your questions, you'll first need to do a literature search for
published research on the subject.
Your advisor or a good librarian should be able to guide you to the best
databases to use to find what's out there in the peer-reviewed journals.
Agricola and CABS are two good databases that come to mind. Not all of the
databases that natural science majors use contain results from some of the
agricultural journals--for example, see if you can find databases that
include results from HortScience and HortTech journals, among others.
It is my understanding that many species of endomycorrhizae are fairly
specific in their affinities. In the 'Materials and Methods' section of
articles, the authors may list their sources of inoculum. The following is a
sample article of the sort you might find:
Happy Hunting!

Abstract
Eighteen *Prunus* rootstock cultivars were inoculated with three arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi under greenhouse conditions in order to evaluate their
affinity for mycorrhizal colonization. The rootstocks were peach–almond
hybrids, peaches, plums and cherries of Spanish, French and Italian origin.
Mycorrhizal colonization was low in plants inoculated with *Glomus
mosseae*(Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerdemann and Trappe, and
*Glomus etunicatum* Becker and Gerdemann. In contrast, *Glomus
intraradices*Schenck and Smith, proved to be the most infective
endophyte, achieving the
highest mycorrhizal colonization rate in most of the rootstocks evaluated.
Species of *Prunus insititia* L. were the only botanical group to show a
consistently high affinity for mycorrhizal colonization with *G.
intraradices*.
