Endogone are tiny, subterranean fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots. They produce spore-filled structures called sporocarps, which resemble small, round tubers. Some species can survive extreme environmental conditions, including high temperatures and drought. Endogone play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and improving soil structure in various ecosystems.
