🌱 Fungi could play a key role in carbon sequestration!

New research suggests that cultivating ectomycorrhizal fungi - those that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots - alongside trees could capture up to 12.8 metric tons of CO₂ per hectare annually, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional protein production.

Mycoforestry (Habitat 🌄)

Mycoforestry is an ecological forest management system implemented to enhance forest ecosystems and plant communities, by introducing the mycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi. Mycoforestry is considered a type of permaculture and can be implemented as a beneficial component of an agroforestry system. It can enhance the yields of tree crops and produce edi...

Magroforestry, cultivating edible mushrooms in forests could be a sustainable and nutritious food source. Mushrooms can grow on organic waste, such as wood chips, straw, or coffee grounds, and provide protein, vitamins, and minerals. There are environmental benefits of agroforestry, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing soil health.

#MycoForestry (mushrooms and trees) is an environmentally friendly alternative for boreal forests. University of Stirling 🇬🇧 scientists demonstrate that carbon sequestration and food production is a much better use for northern forests than toilette paper‼️

#MycoForestry - Using a symbiotic relationship between mushrooms and trees for high protein producing agriculture that's carbon sequestering, and plants trees instead of cutting them down.

This is the kind of large scale #SolarPunk shit we need to be getting into.
