The ground beneath your feet is not quiescent.

Spanning 110 quadrillion kilometers, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi transport an enormous amount of planet-warming carbon.

The ground beneath your feet is not quiescent.

First ever global mapping of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shows scale of hyphal systems that sustain plant life

Our soils are teeming with networks of fungi, and we're starting to understand how important they are

Hidden Fungal Networks Could Stretch from the Earth to the Sun a Billion Times Over: A new map of global mycorrhizal fungi details the massive scope of the vital systems

For the first time ever, researchers have quantified the length and mass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks globally and mapped the ecosystems where they are densest.

It might sound like something out of The Last of Us, but scientists have uncovered a hidden fungal network lurking beneath our feet.
