Orchid plants nurture their seedlings via shared underground fungal network, study shows

The Common Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) is found all over the U.K. These orchids produce tiny seeds that can be carried anywhere by the wind, yet they often appear in clumps with small seedlings growing near mature plants. This phenomenon has puzzled ecologists since Darwin s time, with the exact reason remaining a mystery.

Fungi stores a third of carbon from fossil fuel emissions and could be essential to reaching net zero, new study reveals: Researchers are now calling for fungi to be considered more heavily in conservation and biodiversity policies, and are investigating whether we can increase how much carbon the soil underneath us can hold

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for holding up to 36 per cent of yearly global fossil fuel emissions below ground more than China emits each year.
