Hey bri
I tried to find the least complicated and most accessible info on mycorrhizae I could.
I hope I am in the right ball park for what you are looking for?
I have included a selection of different site for you perusal.
Have a skim through them and hopefully one will speak to you.
I like the look of the Hydroponic one and the two below it, see what you think.
After you've had a look and if they are not quite what you were looking for , let me know and provide a few more details and I'll have another look for you.
Mycorrhizae is a bit of a pain when researching due to it's inherent sciencyness (I made that word up lol)
I have also included a brief description to what mycorrhizae fungus is, you never know who may read this and it may give just enough background to anyone new to mycorrhizae.
Mycorrhizal Fungi an overview
Mycorrhizal fungi are a remarkable group of organisms that have been benefiting plants for at least 500 million years.
At the dawn of time when plants were just beginning to colonise our planet mycorrhizal fungi were there living in a symbiotic relationship with plants enabling them to extract nutrients and hold onto water in very difficult soil conditions.
In effect, the fungus provides a secondary root system, a system that is considerably more efficient and extensive than the plants own root system.
These fungi are living organisms and will live with the plant, sourcing a continued nutrient supply for its entire lifetime –
a truly sustainable plant nutrition solution. In exchange the plant provides carbon and sugars to the fungi. Not unsurprisingly, 90% of all land plants employ this relationship to enhance their own root system’s capacity to deliver nutrients.
