Some mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Animated Z-stack of mycorrhizal fungi in a 'weed' root. The sample came from an outreach project, so the plant and fungal identities are unknown. What I do know is that they live in Cambridge and partner up to make beautiful arbuscules

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in pimpernel🟦 and marigold 🟨 root cells, stained and false-coloured to match flower colour. Different plant + fungal partners, different structures, same sharing of nutrients🤝 #symbiosis

Don't mess up with that little one🤯

How to map the Earth's fungal networks? SPUN was joined by Giuliana Furci, Toby Kiers, Merlin Sheldrake, @CosmoSheldrake in Chile to start sampling global mycorrhizal fungal diversity Fungi Foundation & FaunaFloraFunga (1/3) youtube.com/watch?v=ZGkFHH…
