OH MYcelium! Fungi are neither animals nor plants 🍄. They are in their own kingdom of macroscopic life. But they are critical to 90% of plants. Plants need fungi to grow and absorb nutrients from soil. Fungi help them do that with networks of mycelium, which can deliver critical nutrients and protection to plants. In August 2021, Re:wild became the first global organization, alongside IUCN (@iucn_congress), calling for the recognition of fungi as one of the three kingdoms of life critical to protecting and restoring Earth*.* With @fungifoundation and @giulifungi. #WildFacts #fungi #mycelium #scienceiscool
