Episode XLVI: Two Fun Guys talk about Fungi
In this special episode, we talk about mushrooms, and other fungi. Fungi help to decompose dead objects, which ultimately recycles the constituent pieces. More recently, it has been learned that fungi can also have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with plants. By providing plant roots with water, the fungus is able to eat some of the carbon from the roots.
