Researchers have uncovered how plants and mycorrhizal fungi form highly efficient underground networks that manage carbon and nutrient flows across ecosystems. Published in Nature, the study used advanced robotics to track over half a million fungal networks, revealing how these brainless systems self-organize, adjust nutrient distribution, and sequester around 13 billion tons of CO₂ annually. The findings highlight fungi as nature’s own decentralized logistics system, offering insights that could inform sustainable supply chain design.
