Mycorrhiza

Close-up biological diagram of a compact mycorrhizal association, with one or more short pale tan to light brown plant root segments, cylindrical or lightly branching, closely coated, wrapped, interwoven, and in places partly penetrated by a dense mesh of fine branching fungal hyphae. The fungal filaments are thin, threadlike, and slightly fuzzy, colored white, cream, off-white, pale beige, light tan, or pale yellow. They form an intimate sheath over the root surface and extend outward in radiating strands, creating a dense root-associated mass that contrasts the thicker branched root tissue with the delicate tubular hyphal network.
