Plant Success

Mycorrhizae literally means fungus root and describes the mutually beneficial relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi. These tiny fungi aid in absorbing nutrients and water and feed them to the plant in exchange for sugars. In nature, 90% of plants on earth have been growing in a symbiotic relationship with these mighty soil fungi for hundreds of years. In fact, it is believed that a mycorrhizal network in southern Oregon may be the largest single organism on planet Earth.
