The Mycorrhiza Magnified website reveals the world of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. You will find images, movies, games, teaching materials, and information about their lives.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are vital for plant growth, farming and the functioning of all land-based ecosystems. They are also beautiful and fascinating. Learn more about arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the Meet the mycorrhizae page, before heading to the Explore sections to dive deeper into their hidden world.
An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus colonising the root of a lettuce at Arbury Allotments, Cambridge, UK. Fungal cell walls stained with WGA-Alexafluor (false-coloured grey) and imaged with confocal laser scanning microscope.
The materials on Mycorrhiza Magnified are provided to support education and research. They have all been created by Dr Jen McGaley, a scientist at the University of Cambridge. Jen has developed new techniques to study arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in detail. You can find out about her research in the video below.
