Study: Fungal Networks So Massive They’d Span 10% of the Milky Way
A new study reveals that underground fungal networks are far more extensive than previously thought, potentially spanning 10% of the Milky Way's width if stretched end-to-end. These networks play a critical role in carbon sequestration and nutrient exchange within ecosystems.
