Mycorrhiza is a root inhabiting fungus found around or inside the roots of many plants. It increases growth and yield and also provides protection to the roots against edaphic (soil) stresses, pathogen and pests. It helps in the increased uptake of soil and mineral water solution by the plant root system. It provides many uses for the host plants eg. VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) fungi. Mycorrhiza is of two types.
a. Ectotrophic mycorrhiza, which are found only outside the surface of roots of plants. eg. Basidiomycetous fungi.
b. Endotrophic mycorrhiza, which are found inside the roots, in the intercellular spaces and even inside the cell (intra and intercellular)
eg. VAM fungi.
