Tadaaa we are done with week 17. I got myself a nice cup of tea and went though all the posts again choosing and changing my mind a few times of what to feature today. I see some of you got really hooked on the toys and the results are really cool. 
Well done everyone!


But before we get to the chosen 8 today, I have a nice word for you: 
<center>**Mycorrhizae**</center>


> The word Mycorrhiza is combination of two Greek words “mycos=fungus” and “rhiza=root” which means “fungus root” (Smith and Read, 2008).[[source]](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbiology/mycorrhiza) <br>
Mycorrhizae are a symbiotic association between plant roots and fungi. Their major role is to enhance nutrient and water uptake by the host plant by exploiting a larger volume of soil than roots alone can do. [[source]](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/mycorrhizae#)

I think I have mentioned about it some time ago in one of my posts. It is quite a fascinating topic, so if you are interested, the source links will get to articles with more info.
<br>
And now my favourite 8 from yesterday, in no particular order.
