  • Over 90% of all plants associate with these organisms
  • They allow sustained nutrient uptake & water supply
  • After applying to the soil, the fungi begin to colonize the plant's roots
  • They extend the plant's root system into the surrounding soil via an extensive network of fungal filaments
    • Up to 20 meters
  • These thread-like filaments extract nutrients & water from the soil & exchange them for carbon in the plant
