“Tulasnella calospora is a well-documented orchid mycorrhizal fungus; symbiotic germination enabling protocorm development on recalcitrant carbon sources is canonical orchid mycorrhizal biology.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Tulasnella calospora is a well-documented orchid mycorrhizal fungus; protocorm dependence on fungal symbiosis for carbon utilization is biologically consistent with orchid mycoheterotrophy at germination stage.”
