Endomycorrhizal fungus ... grows in the roots of grass and many other plants. It forms a partnership with shrubs and grass. The fungus gives the plants minerals like phosphorus. The plant gives the fungus sugars and other carbohydrates. 3, record 2, English, - endomycorrhizal%20fungus

There are two types of mycorrhizal fungi: ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae. Ectomycorrhizae form sheaths around plant roots, endomycorrhizae enter cortex cells in the roots. 4, record 2, English, - endomycorrhizal%20fungus

A mycorrhiza(typically seen in the plural forms mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas, Greek for fungus roots) is the result of a mutualistic association between a fungus and a plant. This mutualism takes place at the root level, where individual hyphae extending from the mycelium of a fungus colonize the roots of a host plant, either intracellularly or extracellularly. 5, record 2, English, - endomycorrhizal%20fungus

[Le terme «endomycorhize» est] composé du préfixe endo- du grec, endon (dedans) et du nom mycorhize (symbiose entre la racine d'une plante et un champignon), qui vient lui aussi du grec par son préfixe myco- de, mycetos (champignon) et son suffixe -rhize de, -rrhizos dérivé de, rhiza (racine, fondement). [L'endomycorhize est la] symbiose entre la racine d'une plante et une colonie de champignons, les hyphes de ces derniers (leurs filaments) s'infiltrant à l'intérieur des cellules racinaires, dans l'espace intracellulaire. 3, record 2, French, - champignon%20endomycorhizien

Morphologiquement, l'ectomycorhize est plus facile à reconnaître que l'endomycorhize parce que les hyphes (cellules) du champignon ectomycorhizien associé, l'enrobent et forment autour d'elle un tissu fongique coloré (manchon fongique) comparable à une douille qui recouvre et protège la pointe d'un stylo. 3, record 3, French, - champignon%20ectomycorhizien

Les champignons ectomycorhiziens jouent un rôle très important dans l'absorption, le transfert ou l'immobilisation d'autres éléments minéraux du sol : cuivre, fer, zinc et potassium, ainsi que des métaux lourds présents en excès dans les sols acides (aluminium, cadmium, zinc) qui sont accumulés dans les cordons mycéliens. Les champignons sont de bons détoxificateurs des sols. 4, record 3, French, - champignon%20ectomycorhizien
