​#MondayMycorrhiza

Amongst the many varied topics and themes on soil health I often come across, I constantly find myself amazed at the vast quantity of literature out there on the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi. I might not even be searching for something to do with this fungi, yet somehow, up pops a piece of research that in some way links to my original, unrelated research query. Of course, being so fascinated by fungi in general and in true procrastination style, I can’t help but have a quick diversion and scan over the article for interests’ sake. With such frequency has this been happening lately, I’ve decided to start a regular tweet simply sharing some of these articles [and others I find generally] all about mycorrhiza. Hence, #MondayMycorrhiza is born – if I find something interesting that’s worth sharing, I’ll tweet a link on a Monday. It might not be every single Monday, but as often as I can.
 
You'll have to follow my twitter to keep up with this as it's just this first post I'll be putting on my website [or perhaps I'll occasionally post one here from time to time].  Follow my twitter and other social media pages here.
 
Here’s the first share – it’s been a pretty cold winter for many parts of North America so I thought I’d share more of a general interest read about the prevalence and activity of mycorrhizal fungi in Arctic and Antarctic regions. Amazingly, mycorrhiza are found in these extreme climates and appear to be well adapted…

Perhaps this theme of cold tolerance I might carry on over the coming weeks with some other articles within agricultural settings.
