Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles (2008, background): “The species enhanced exudation of oxalate compared to nonmycorrhizal seedlings (Van Schöll et al. 2006a), released K and Mg (Arocena et al. 2004; Glowa et al. 2003), but did not show enhanced weathering of muscovite and hornblende in the study by Van Schöll et al. (2006b).”

(2007, unknown): “The ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma was able to extract potassium and/or magnesium from biotite, microcline, and chlorite to satisfy nutritional requirements and precipitated calcium-oxalate crystals on the hyphae (Glowa et al. 2003).”
