    Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants in increasing absorption capabilities. Mycelium has the higher absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients than plant because of the large surface area of fungal hyphae and because hyphae are longer than plant root hairs. Also, some fungi can mobilize soil minerals which are unavailable to the plants' roots.
