because I th8nk this is utterly fantastic I thought I'd add some hashtags ...
#Mycorrhizal #fungi play in both the #light and the #mud. Part of this thing lives full time inside the #plant where light and #carbon are packed into #lipids and #sugars. The other part #mines the #earth for #mineral and #organic #nutrients.
They also act as the #SilkRoad for #trade between themselves and the plant as they #exchange the nutrients for the carbon #currencies along it.
In the most fundamental of ways the fungi turned #algae into a farmable system. The plants we see today are nothing more than the fungal #farmers' design that compels a #space to be #productive.
