For nearly 450 million years, mycorrhizal fungi have constructed networks to collect and trade nutrient resources with plant roots. Owing to their dependence on host-derived carbon, these fungi face conflicting trade-offs in building networks that balance construction costs against geographical coverage and long-distance resource transport to and from roots. How they navigate these design challenges is unclear.

- Strigolactones are phytohormones that significantly affect the germination and growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), with previous studies focusing on individual strains.
- In experiments with AMF strains A5 and C2, C2 showed high germination rates regardless of conditions, while A5's germination improved with strigolactones but decreased in mixed cultures.
- The study indicates that strigolactones can influence competitive relationships among AMF strains, with unique responses suggesting potential shifts in community dynamics.
