Most plant species interact intimately with beneficial root fungi in symbioses, called mycorrhizae. A mycorrhizal fungal network, the ‘wood-wide web’, is like an underground internet for plants. How are humans impacting mycorrhizae, and how can we conserve these important symbioses? Join our discussion led by Laura Super, PhD student in Forest and Conservation Sciences, to learn about the diversity, interactions, and conservation of mycorrhizae.
