    Mycorrhizal Networks

    Mycorrhizal networks, also known as common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), are underground hyphal networks created by mycorrhizal fungi that connect the roots of multiple plants, often of different species. These symbiotic associations facilitate the transfer of water, carbon, nutrients, and signaling molecules between plants, influencing ecosystem dynamics. The concept is popularly referred to as the "Wood Wide Web."
