Interested In Planting To Encourage Mycorrhizal Fungi?
MF Patches In The Goulburn Mulwaree LGA
Information On MF
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, boosting nutrient and water uptake.
They fall into two broad categorie based on how fungal hyphae interact with root cells:-
Scientific literature recognizes seven main variants: three primary types and four highly specialized ones.

MF Patches In The Goulburn Mulwaree LGA
Information On MF
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, boosting nutrient and water uptake.
They fall into two broad categorie based on how fungal hyphae interact with root cells:-
- ectomycorrhizal (external hyphae) - sheaths roots externally
- endomycorrhizal (internal hyphae) - penetrate cells
Scientific literature recognizes seven main variants: three primary types and four highly specialized ones.

Project Background Information
- This project, is about promote the growth of mycorrhizal fungi across Goulburn-Mulwaree and builds on the extensive work of Melbourne-based committee member Chris White .
- Another impetus was the fascinating presentation in Goulburn, by Alison Pouliot, an ecologist with an interest in fungi.
- The role of mycorrhizal fungi in the sequestration of soil organic carbon, cannot be overstated and it is something in that regenerative farmers, Landcare Groups, councils and garden owners can be a part.
