Mycorrhizal networks are one of nature’s most powerful carbon removal tools. These networks are found naturally on the forest floor and other plant root networks. They are made with mycelium. Fungi spores wrap around roots and bore into them to help many plants transfer water and nutrients to each other. Well-developed forests have high fungi counts and naturally remove large amounts of carbon from the environment.
These networks also make it possible for plants to develop stronger roots. They are more resistant to disease and drought. Plants with plenty of mycelium grow in adverse soil conditions better and yield more produce. People typically struggle to get the right type of nutrients into dirt for crops and gardens. These spaces are almost always lower in nutrients than the forest floor is. Humans can now harness the power of mycorrhizal networks by adding quality spores to their plant roots.
Scientists have developed ways to grow the spores that create strong root networks in dry and liquid form. They can be carefully rolled on to roots and added to starter dirt. The networks develop inside starter pots and continue growing after planting. Most growers notice a huge difference in the size and health of the plant within a few weeks. Plants also typically grow fruits and vegetables with more nutrients when planted this way. The root networks benefit all kinds of plants. Roses, beans, tomatoes, and more can absorb micronutrients and macronutrients better. Farmers get the same or better growth with less phosphorus-based fertilizer.
