Mycorrhizal fungi are mycelium. 'Fungi' = 'mycelium'. 'Mycorrhizal' = the mycelium's relationship to plant roots.   



Ok , I am getting slightly more challenging  ... do mushroom spawn = mycorrhizal fungi innoculant (like the mycorrhiza products you get for plant roots?

Thats sounds exciting project Philip.

On slightly different line of thought. Looking there quite a number of mycorrhiza products around that from talk seem to be very effective at amplifying the health and growrate of plants manyfold.

These products are not catorgarised as fertilizers as such; but they present a whole new approach gardening and farming, not to deplete the soil that chemical fertilizers and tilling do but allow the soil to self generate nutrients.

How can mycorrhiza be incorporated with myco-remediation/restoration? Are there such products?

I am still trying to make the link between mycorrhizal fungi and mycelium. My mind stubbornly is not fully grasping something

Yes I have seen that.

Still it does not answer the question ... is mycorrhizal fungi mycelium?

I am trying to get my terminology right. One can refer to for example oyster mushroom mycelium ; can you say ... oyster mushroom mycorrhiza fungi.  Can you see what I am getting at?

Basically ... is mycorrrhizal fingu mycelium?

Someone was trying to debate with me that micorrhiza fungi cannot digest pollutants. I think mycelium and mycorhizal fungi(being the hyphae around the roots)  are one, and fungi such as that of oyster mushrooms can happily digest many pollutants such as hydro-carbons.

I never did biology at school, so be kind.

Thanks
