The Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) has published the first global map of mycorrhizal networks: vast underground fungal filaments that connect with plant roots, exchange nutrients for plant-made carbon, and may channel a significant share of carbon into soils.

Oh wow. I just re-read Drexler’s Radical Abundance recently after coming across an ancient job application I sent in to his lab like 25 years ago (I didn’t get it). I sort of assumed by this point I wouldn’t see real progress in my lifetime.
