Endomycorrhizae

Description: (a) Light micrograph showing black-stained AM fungi within the roots of the forest herb Asarum canadensis. Endomycorrhizal fungal hyphae enter plant roots via root hair cells, and then branches grow in the spaces between plant cell walls and plasma membranes. (b) Diagram showing the position of highly branched arbuscules. Hyphal branches of arbuscules are coated with plant plasma membrane, with the result that both hyphae and plant membrane have very high surface areas.
