@downriver “Experts say large trees can store significant volumes of carbon dioxide and keep the gas from warming the planet as it enters the atmosphere.” My understanding is that it’s the mycelial network that store carbon, not carbon dioxide, in their cell walls. According to , 70% of the carbon extracted during photosynthesis is channeled by the trees to the fungi.
