"“Mycorrhizal fungi” — named for the combined Latin words for “fungus” and “root” — have provided plants with mineral nutrients like #phosphorous in exchange for plant-manufactured sugars.

Since those plants are making that sugar out of #CarbonDioxide from the air, that means that the fungi are in effect a growing subterranean “carbon bank.”

Field’s team found that fungi pulled down 36 percent of global #FossilFuel #emissions,."
