It depends. You have to remember that the fungi use the energy the plant makes. Usually, the fungi are most beneficial when the fungi supply something that is limiting the plant. If the nutrients are already in good enough supply, there isn't much of an advantage since fungi will be sapping energy from the plant that the plant could be using for itself.
