By cycling nutrients through the food chain, mycelial networks benefit the soil that allows plants and animals to survive and thrive. #mycelium #mycelialnetwork #biodiversity #paulstamets | Fungi Perfecti | Facebook

Sometimes referred to as the “wood wide web”, mycelium can be found under nearly every footstep on a lawn, field, or forest floor. As much as 90% of land plants are in a mutually beneficial relationship with mycelial networks. Without fungi - without mycelium - all land ecosystems would fail. #mycelium #mycelialnetwork #biodiversity #paulstamets | Fungi Perfecti
