Care tips for your orchid

what, a top post? Why don't you answer questions, but demand others answer your questions? Is there a magic man in the sky causing things to happen on the planet I don't know about?

So then grass, marigolds, grapevines, not being trees, don't have mycorrhiza?

Annuals have bacteria. Perennials like fungi. Annuals like a higher pH than perennials.

Google "figurative language".

Plants have mychorrizae, I've used VAM innoculant on the roots of plants which are receptive to this application.

Better said, without the plant root tissues, or without the fungus tissues you cannot have a mycorrhiza. Again the word mycorrhiza is Greek. "mycor" meaning fungi. "rhiza" meaning root. It is a composite organ made up of plant root tissues and fungi tissues. Is it root or fungus? The answer is yes. People don't like that kind of question.

The same site had a list of plants that do not respond to endo or ecto. They had pine and oak on the list. Anytime I dug pine or oak roots I found ectomycorrhizae. So please do not quote that list.
