New research maps global underground fungal networks

A new study published in Science reveals that underground fungal networks span approximately 110 quadrillion kilometers globally, potentially stretching nearly a billion times the distance from Earth to the sun. These networks play a crucial role in nutrient exchange with plants and sequester about 1 billion tons of carbon annually, helping to reduce atmospheric warming.
