    Don’t ignore the dead! Two new NSF grants allow collaborative teams to disentangle how fungi move + store carbon in soils. Researchers include Profs Peter Kennedy (@UMNFuN), Sarah Hobbie, Jonathan Schilling (@shroominn), PhD student Lang DeLancey +more. cbs.umn.edu/blogs/cbs-conn…
    Photo of Suillus spectabilis (ectomycorrhizal) on the left with white text on black background to right. There’s growing evidence that mycorrhizal fungi have roles in ecosystems beyond their well recognized symbiotic relationship with plants. They play important roles — both dead and alive — in terms of controlling how carbon moves in and out of forest soils. —Peter Kennedy, PhD
