Types of mycorrhizal fungi

Ectomycorrhiza

Ectomycorrhizae are the most common group found in Central European forests. The special feature of ectomycorrhiza is that the mycelium forms a dense coating on the root surface. The mycelial threads also grow into the root cortex, but do not penetrate the root cells, instead forming a network in the extracellular spaces. Ectomycorrhizae form a symbiotic relationship with trees from the birch, beech, pine, willow and rose families, among others.

Endomycorrhiza

In endomycorrhizae, some of the mycelial filaments of the fungus penetrate the cells of the root cortex. A special form of endomycorrhizae are arbuscular or vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae. Typical of this type of mycorrhiza is the formation of arbuscules - branched, delicate mycelial filaments in the form of little trees within the root cells. The close connection between plant and fungus enables nutrients and water to be released and carbohydrates to be absorbed. Symbiosis partners are mainly herbaceous plants and orchids, but also some trees.

Trichoderma

Trichoderma species belong to the family of sac fungi. These fungi form a symbiotic relationship with conifers in particular. They have a particularly positive effect on the digestion of mineral salts from the soil. It is even known that these fungi are able to transport nutrients from one plant to another through their extensive mycelium network in order to stabilise them.

It is possible to re-establish mycorrhizal fungi in the root system of our plants and in the surrounding soil, which is effectively revitalised, in a safe and 100% natural way. The application of mycorrhiza is easy and requires no specialised equipment. Mycorrhiza can be dripped onto roots during transplanting, incorporated into seedbeds, added to seedling pots and even used in hydroponic systems.

Mycorrhiza products contain specifically selected mycorrhizal fungal spores. When these spores come into contact with the roots of plants, they germinate. Whether in existing or new flower pots, beds or entire fields, even on old trees - the colonisation of mycorrhizal fungi only costs a few cents per plant!
Mykorrhiza Soluble

Is applied directly during irrigation. It contains 13 carefully selected mycorrhizal fungi, 2 Trichoderma fungi and 17 bacterial species. Mycorrhiza Soluble consists of around 1.1 million fungal spores per gram of endomycorrhiza, ectomycorrhiza and Trichoderma fungi and around 15 million cultures of other soil organisms.
