Mutualistic associations between plants and fungi
are beneficial to both partners. The fungi interact with the roots and improve, among others, the nutrient supply for their host plants. It is therefore evident to
promote crops by a targeted use of symbiotic fungi. Nevertheless, commercially available inocula for gardening or forestry are rendering only mixed results due to difficult cultivation conditions for the used fungal strains or even security problems.
