The most apparent way is with something like tilling, where you go into a soil and literally rip it up.” Fertilisers or fungicides can also “disrupt the symbiosis between the plants and the fungi”. #Fungi #SPUN #Plants #Agriculture Subterranean fungi networks more than 100 quadrillion km in length, study finds | Fungi | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jun/11/arbuscular-mycorrhizal-fungi-plant-life-climate-global-mapping-study
