Introduction
An ectomycorrhiza is a mutualistic relationship occurring between fungi and the root systems of certain plants. Unlike other mycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae aid plants by creating networks of hyphae surrounding their roots. These networks mediate the exchange of nutrients to plants and carbon to fungi.
