How do mycorrhizae work?
Mycorrhizae fungi is a powerful biological organism which works with your plant. It attaches itself to the roots and grows out into the soil like a web. It absorbs nutrients and water from the soil and passes them on to the plant. The Plant in exchange, provides the mycorrhizae with carbohydrates and oxygen. This symbiotic relationship between the plants and mycorrhizae has been naturally perfected over several million years.
What are ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae?
Primarily, there are two types of mycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae. They both are very similar in function, the main difference being in how they carry it out.
Ectomycorrhizae “wraps” itself around the root tips of the plant, and that is where the symbiotic interchange happens.
Endomycorrhizae, on the other hand, penetrates the roots’ cells to facilitate the symbiotic nutrient exchange. About 85% of all terrestrial plant species in the world benefit from endomycorrhizae.
