Fungi in general cannot generate their own food, so some form a symbiosis between plant and fungus where the roots generate a large white tangle called mycelium (body of the fungus), which covers and increases the absorption surface of nutrients and water. in exchange for the plant to provide carbohydrates (sugar) to survive. In the image you can see a comparison of a plant with and without mycorrhizal fungus, on the left you can see the mycelium (set of hyphae) and on the right you can only see roots. The distribution of these fungi is wide, sin...
