Mycorrhizal Fungi

Paraglomerales

Mycorrhizal fungi are special mushrooms that live underground and help plants grow big and strong. They form partnerships with trees and share important nutrients through their roots.

Hábitat: Forests

Aspecto

The Mycorrhizal Fungi is not typically seen directly, as it forms a microscopic network of thread-like structures called hyphae, often white or translucent, that intricately associate with plant roots underground. These delicate threads spread far and wide, invisible to the naked eye.
