The power of mycorrhizal fungai

This week Jeff and Jonathan discuss a new scientific study that looks into how adding mycorrhizal fungai to certain types of farmland can increase the yield by more than 40 percent!

Later, the team discusses how redwood trees reproduce, highlighting the fact that scientists have found buds that extend back 1,000 years.

Finally, Jeff shares how a certain photo inspired his interest in the soil food web, and how it led to his first book, Teaming With Microbes.

All that and more in this week’s episode of Teaming With Microbes!
