So if you get a plant from me, the roots already have the myrorrhize. Does it colonize the surrounding soil from the root ball? I would like to think so, but would welcome some input...

I would assume that most of the fungi would move to the rhizosphere (the area around the root). The fungi associate with plants in order to obtain carbohydrates.

They are two different products. You can buy a bag with mycorrhizae or a bag with biofungicide. The biofungicide would help with rot caused by pathogenic fungi.
