Oyarte Galvez et al. discovered that mycelial networks of several species of mycorrhizal fungus grow from the plant root with remarkable regularity in space and time. To explain these regular ...

They found that mycorrhizal fungi—tiny helpers in the soil—play a big role in helping grasslands store more carbon, both near the surface and in deeper soil layers, by promoting plant ...

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks?

Yet mycorrhizal fungi have been solving these problems for more than 450 million years. This is the kind of research that keeps you up at night because these fungi are such important underground ...

New research uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon and nutrients across the complex, living networks ...
