Join the Botanical Society of Scotland in their next lecture, focusing on the role of fungi.
Quietly working beneath our feet, fungi are vital to life on land. They help cycle nutrients, build healthy soils, and form powerful partnerships with plants. But could they also hold the key to tackling climate change?
In some ecosystems, more carbon is stored underground - in roots, soil, and fungal networks, than in all the trees and plants above. In this fascinating talk, mycologist and fungal ecologist Neville Kilkenny uncovers how fungi contribute to carbon sequestration (and even de-sequestration), and what this means for our planet’s future.
Discover the hidden role fungi play in the balance between storing and releasing carbon, and why understanding it matters more than ever.
