Description
Endogonaceae are tiny fungi that live underground or in decaying wood. They form small, round structures called sporocarps that look like tiny potatoes. These fungi have a unique relationship with plants, helping them absorb nutrients from the soil. Some endogonaceae species can even produce heat, warming the soil around them. Their complex life cycle involves both sexual and asexual reproduction methods.
