See my resource listing; expanded and updated December 2001.
It lists mycorrhizal suppliers and features key web- and print-based
resources on mycorrhizae; some fascinating knowledge exists
amongst all these resource links.
I was teaching a workshop and found it helpful to
provide this analogy. It may not be 100% botanically
accurate in every situation, but it helps to get
people into mycorrhizae-land fairly quickly.
Mycorrhizae is the root-fungus association, not the fungus
itself. Though, it is accurate to say mycorrhizal fungi
to indicate their ability to form symbiotic mycorrhizal associations.
