Hyphae formed in soil by the vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungus, G. fasciculatum (Thaxter sensu Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe were extracted using the membrane filter technique and their length was estimated by the grid intersection method. The effect of P on the formation of this external mycelium was assessed after sampling procedures were investigated. P supply was varied from amounts severely deficient to those adequate for the growth of subterranean clover [Trifolium subterraneum]. After 6 wk, the alleviation of severe P deficiency increased both the length of infected root and the length of external hyphae per centimeter of infected root. Further additions of P decreased both of these measurements. However, the level of added P at which the most external hyphae were formed per centimeter of infected root was higher than the level of P which gave the greatest length of infected root. The increase in P supply which gave the greatest increase in the length of external hyphae per centimeter of infected root also decreased the formation of vesicles within infected roots. At phosphate levels adequate for growth of mycorrhizal plants, there was little development of either external hyphae in soil or vesicles within the mycorrhizal roots.
