#4. Mycorrhiza

Edelweis is a pioneer for young volcanic soils in mountain forests and able to sustain its survival on barren ground, being able to form mycorrhizas with certain soil fungi that effectively extend the area reachable by its roots and increase efficiency in search of nutrients. Mycorrhiza is a fungus in the root that is the task of holding nitrogen and destroying organic matter. Thanks to this mycorrhizal, edelweis can get the nutrients that make it alive and flowering in the barren mountainous terrain.
