The Symbiotic Relationship Between Trees and Fungi

Trees have a unique symbiotic relationship with underground fungi known as mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi connect with the roots of trees, forming a network that helps exchange nutrients. The fungi collect nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen from the soil and provide them to the trees in return for sugars and fats produced by the trees. Through this unseen underground network, the trees and fungi support each other for survival and growth.
