One billion times the distance from the Earth to the sun: First global map of mycorrhizal fungi reveals true scale of underground networks across the planet

Researchers produced the first global maps estimating the distribution and mass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in top soil. They show that fungal threads, laid end-to-end, would stretch from Earth to the sun a billion times. The maps will help scientists see where underground circulatory systems are thriving or threatened.
