Human-fungus symbiotic species

Researching a lot about fantasy, I've always had interest of mushroom humanoids, but I wanted to put my own twist on them. Instead of sentient mushrooms, I wanted to have a humanoid species infected with some kind of Mycorrhiza, which is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular host plant.

Cases with parasitic fungi tend to not go well, but Mycorrhiza is more symbiotic, and I want to know how and why would there be a human species that has a symbiotic relationship with "parasitic" fungi? And if possible, what kind of physical differences would it have from a regular human?
