Propagules would include any fungal material that is capable of infecting the roots. That includes spores, infected root fragments and hyphae.
Infected root fragments and hyphae are much faster at inoculation but have a shorter shelf life. Spores are slower at inoculation but have a long shelf life.
A mycorrhizal inoculant with a high propagule count will give the best chance at infecting roots.
