Astonishing Mycorrhizal Networks https://smallthingsconsidered.blog/schaechter/2026/09/astonishing-mycorrhizal-networks/ Paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adu4373 "they predicted an average global hyphal density of 4.4 m per cubic cm. If stretched end to end, these tiny thread-like structures could extend approximately 110 quadrillion km. To put this in perspective, this length is equivalent to thousands of light-years and almost a billion times the distance between Earth and the Sun. That is a lot of #fungi in the top 15 cm of Earth's soil!" Via @STCmicrobeblog@mstdn.science
