The Mycorrhizal Market Economy - Toby Kiers

Mushroom Revival Podcast

Mycorrhizal networks function like a market economy. There is a system of exchanging things of value in underground mycelial networks.. We are very honored to welcome with the brilliant and eloquent Toby Kiers, who has pioneered so much to our collective understanding of how mycorrhizal market economies work.

Topics Covered:

• What is a market economy and how does it work in underground networks?
• Mechanical descriptions of how these trade deals are made and what science can tell us so far about how exchanges are initiated and
• How mycorrhizal networks work with multiple communities of plant species
• How to track and quantify the chemical exchanges between species in the lab
• Carbon sequestration of soil and mycorrhizal fungi
• SPUN "The Society for the Protection of Underground Networks"
