Looking for more detail on how mycorrhizal fungi and plants benefit one another? This science story shows and tells all, using cacao trees and Glomus fungi as examples. (Miller Library Staff)
This is a story about trees and fungi connected through a 'wood wide web' - told by one tiny fungal spore. A little fungus meets a baby cacao tree and they learn to feed each other. They cooperate with a forest of plants and a metropolis of microbes in the soil. But when drought strikes can they work together to survive? The fourth book in the Small Friends Books series, this science-adventure story explores the Earth-shaping partnerships between plants, fungi and bacteria.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up and for parents and teachers.
