This is really beautiful, interesting and important at the same time.
SPUN: *A hidden infrastructure*
➡️ Underground networks
"Beneath our feet lie networks of invisible ecosystem engineers: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
These fungi form trading relationships with more than 70% of plant species, building networks of tubular cells called hyphae that extend the surface area of root systems up to a hundred-fold.
Collectively, these networks comprise one of Earth's circulatory systems." ➡️

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots.
Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half.
