Mycorrhizae

 Mycorrhizae is a symbiotic relationship between fungus and the roots of a plant. They live in a mutualistic relationship where the fugus gains carbohydrates and the plant gains help in recieving water and other nutrients. Mushrooms are a product of Mycorrhizae, which is why i took the picture above. Also plants with a relationship with mycorrhizae are healthy and healthier then a plant without the relationship, they grow better because they are better at taking in water and other nutrients and they are more resistant to harsh weather. mycorrhizae are very good for helping plant growth.
