Is the O2 intake needed by fungi that interact with the tree? Or is it really the plant's own organism?

  The O2 is consumed by the plant - root cells are dependent on aerobic respiration for their energy.

    Thank you. It's somewhat glossed over in that plants have aerobic metabolism, but uses CO2 to build the fuel for the process. I am not certain if the green parts will survive at at night time if there is no oxygen in the air.
