I don’t get it. Do orchids kill fungi?

[–] nettle@mander.xyz 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All orchids use fungi to obtain essential nutrients at the expense of the fungi (e.g. providing nutrients to allow orchid to germinate). only some orchids give something beneficial back to the fungi in return.
