Abstract
Ectomycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between fungi and plant roots in which the fungus forms a sheath around all or some of the fine absorbing rootlets. Hyphae penetrate between the root cells and occasionally enter the cells but they never penetrate beyond the cortex and any intracellular hyphae do not cause destruction of the host cell.
