Lovely Peeps, I thought this on #mycology in #Africa, and mycology #conservation efforts around the world was interesting!

"This interest in conserving #fungi has been spurred ... by increasing evidence that they play a far larger role in how ecosystems function than previously understood: 90% of plants on Earth rely on fungi to supply them with crucial nutrients, & newer evidence is increasingly pointing to the key role that fungi play in helping maintain a stable #climate.

A recent study found that as much as 36% of annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are stored in the underground mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi."
