Mycorrhizae have different effects on different plants. Some plants will have trouble growing well without them. They help plants absorb nutrients such as phosphorus and zinc and help in water uptake. The plants get nutrients from the fungi and the fungi get carbohydrates from the plants.
The hyphae from the fungi can increase the root surface area around 10x which helps greatly for the absorption of phosphorus since it is immobile in the soil.
