AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “AM fungi (Glomaceae) forming mutualistic symbiosis with tomato roots and developing external mycelium is well-documented; species-specific hyphal proliferation patterns in root-free zones are biologically consistent.”

• plant-pathologist · plausible

  “AMF-tomato mutualism via root colonization and extraradical mycelium is well-established; Glomus caledonium (Glomeraceae) proliferating more in root-free compartments is consistent with known hyphal foraging behavior.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
