Orchids are pushing out stinkweeds? What is an epiphyte? Are you
kidding me?


Sorry, mcorrhizae is autonomous of the tree. It exists without trees.
Trees are not the only plant which depends on mychorrizae. I can buy
mychorrizae innoculant online.

You cannot innoculate with an organ.

It is not attached to any tree I know
of. Fungal mats exist without the presence of trees. C'mon, you have
got to be kidding me. You actually think mychorrizae is made up of
tree root AND fungus? It's not.

Maybe you better define what mycorrhizae is in your words. It is a Greek
word meaning -
mycor - fungus rhiza - root. It is an composite structure made up of plant
roots (most trees) and fungi. Is it fungi or root? YES!
