A mycorrhiza[1] is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant. In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either intracellularly or extracellularly. They are an important component of soil life.[2]
Chunks of information
- Do you know how long all the root segments of the entire root system of a single rye plant can become? According to Brian Capon in his book 'Botany for gardeners' it was once measured. The figure is unbelievable: 380 miles or 630 km.[3]
