More research in the News science news feeds on how mycorrhizal fungi mine the soil for nutrients for their hosts and the dangers industrial Ag is doing to this system. This is almost similar to another post I had last year on mycorrhizal fungi mining the soils, but further research is shedding light on the subject. Also how climate change and industrial disruption are causing major failure in these systems. Organic Farming by means of Biomimetics makes so much more logical sense. I just never get tired of this subject even after 30+ years of working with it.

Fascinating. Thank you for posting this.

Fungi are amazing.

"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf
