Plant Types that Benefit from Endomycorrhizae Fungi

There are a number of plant species that benefit from endomycorrhizae, sometime just called mycorrhiza. These microscopic fungi help make soils more fertile and alive.

Endomycorrhizae, or vescular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM for short), form symbiotic relationships, sometimes called mutually beneficial relationships, with about 90% of plants. This relationship is thought to date back over 400 million years. So plants and mycorrhizae have evolved together.

Endomycorrhizal fungi form an intercellular attachment with plants between the cell wall and the cell

membrane. This attachment facilitates the transfer of nutrients and water from  the fungi to the plant. The fungi form branched structures within the root system of the plant. These branched structures greatly increase the surface area of the roots, enabling the plant to gather much more water and essential nutrients.

Endomycorrhiza benefit a number of important plants. Here’s a partial list.
