“Mycor” - “rhiza” literally means “fungus” - “root” and defines the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and root fungus. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots and extend far into the surrounding soil. Mycorrhizal fungal filaments in the soil are truly extensions of the root systems and are more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots themselves. More than 90 percent of plant species form a symbiotic relationship with these beneficial soil fungi.

Over 95% of the world’s plant species form relationships with Endo or Ecto Mycorrhizae and require the association. A large amount (about 85-90%) of plant species, mainly green and leafy plants such as grasses and agricultural crops, form endomycorrhizal relationships. While a smaller percent of the species form with Ecto Mycorrhizae. These plants mainly consist of conifers and oaks. The last 5% of plant species do not form relationships with either of these types of mycorrhizal fungi.

The mycorrhizal products we carry contain the most diverse and effective strains of mycorrhizae available anywhere. By utilizing a robust mix of beneficial soil organisms, plants can survive and thrive the way nature intended.
