Root fungus, light micrograph
Root fungus. Light micrograph of a cross-section through a root containing fungal hyphae called endotrophic mycorrhiza. The hyphae (green and blue) are in the inter-cellular spaces and inside some cells. The hyphae extend into the soil and pass mineral salts and water up to the root, so it no longer needs the hairs that normally serve this function. The plant supplies the fungus with sugars and other organic substances, enabling a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship. Magnification: x100 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of root fungus, as seen through a light microscope. The image reveals a cross-section of a root containing endotrophic mycorrhiza, which refers to the symbiotic relationship between fungal hyphae and plant roots. In this mutually beneficial alliance, the hyphae (depicted in shades of green and blue) extend into the soil, transporting vital mineral salts and water up to the root. Consequently, the plant no longer relies on its traditional function of absorbing these nutrients through its hairs. The mesmerizing interplay between flora and fungi is beautifully captured in this snapshot. As part of their partnership, plants supply sugars and other organic substances to nourish the fungus while receiving essential minerals in return. This biological exchange allows both organisms to thrive harmoniously. With a magnification factor of x100 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers an intimate glimpse into the hidden world beneath our feet. Against a vibrant yellow background, it highlights not only the anatomical intricacies but also emphasizes how nature's diverse elements collaborate for mutual benefit. This stunning visual representation serves as a testament to both botanical marvels and scientific exploration within fields like mycology and biology. It invites viewers to appreciate the wonders that exist beyond what meets our naked eye while shedding light on one aspect of Earth's complex ecosystem.
