Mycorrhiza
A
mycorrhiza
(Greek: μυκός,
mykós
, "fungus" and ριζα,
riza
, "roots", pl.
mycorrhizae
or
mycorrhizas
) is a
symbiotic
association composed of a
fungus
and roots of a
vascular plant
. In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either
intracellularly
as in
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF or AM), or
extracellularly
as in ectomycorrhizal fungi. They are an important component of
soil life
and
soil chemistry
. The association is generally
mutualistic
, but occasionally weakly
pathogenic
.
