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 speciesHow to track and quantify the chemical exchanges between species in the labCarbon sequestration of soil and mycorrhizal fungiSPUN "The Society for the Protection of Underground Networks"Show notes:Toby Kier's Website: https://tobykiers.com/TED Talk "Lessons from fungi on markets and economies": https://tobykiers.com/publication/SPUN: https://spun.earth/Press release SPUN Launch: https://spun.earth/press/
