Ectomycorrhizae form a network of cells throughout the outer and inner root, delivering enzymes, water, and minerals directly to the plant. This "web" of ectomychorrhizae also protects against predation and increases the stress resistance of the host plant.
The ectomycorrhizae act as extensions of the plant roots themselves, allowing them to access up to a 60-fold increase in surface area to explore for needed nutrients.
Endomycorrhizae form symbiotic relationships on the outside and the inside of the plant roots, delivering water, enzymes, and minerals directly into the individual cells of the root.
In exchange, the endomycorrhizae receive complex sugars and carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis.
Dr. Dave's Ultimate Living Fertilzer includes millions of spores of:
Four species of Endomycorrhizae: Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus etunicatum, and seven species of Ectomycorrhizae: Rhizopogon villosulus, Rhizopogon luteolus, Rhizopogon amylopogon, Rhizopogon fulvigleba, Pisolithus tinctorius, Scleroderma cepa, and Scleroderma citrinum.
