Mere mycorrhiza



A review of "Mycorrhizal Ecology" 

This is a technical-scientific book on mycorrhiza, especially mycorrhizal ecology. Recent breakthroughs in research are recorded. Typical chapter headings: "Foraging and resource allocation strategies of mycorrhizal fungi in a patchy environment", "Genetic studies of the structure and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities", "Mycorrhizal specificity and function in myco-heterotrophic plants". Get it? I know what mycorrhiza is, of course. Come on, every child who reads books on mushrooms knows *that*. However, something tells me this book isn't "mere mycorrhiza", but goes much deeper. All the way to the roots?

I feel left out, ha ha.
