Scientists use high-tech robots to uncover the hidden architecture of mycorrhizal networks, revealing how fungi optimize nutrient trade.

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks?

From helping plants to colonize terrestrial earth to treating disease in humans, is there anything fungi can’t do? Chris Dart Neither plants nor animals, fungi are the most underappreciated ...

New research published in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025, uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade ...
