For more than 30 years, the world s largest collection of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - the good kind essential for sustaining plant life - has been rooted at West Virginia University.
Over the next several years, the tiny, soil-dwelling residents of the International Culture Collection of (Vesicular) Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi will be relocated to the University of Kansas thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation.
