This is incredibly insightful about how desperate life in Gaza is right now:

[Ambassador Majed Bamya 🇵🇸 @majedbamya]

Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”

What a load of fear-mongering rubbish . @BBCLookEast I suggest speaking to a botanist next time you look to run an article demonising our native flora . . . we all need to do better .

Recent studies have shown Fungi stores a third of carbon from fossil fuel emissions and could be essential to reaching net zero. This is huge news as we tackle climate change- never underestimate the importance of Mycelium! Read more:

Feather stars are marine invertebrates with featherlike arms that radiate from a central body. They date back about 200 million years and are thought as living fossils

This video shows real-time carbon flows inside a mycorrhizal network.

Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with ~ 90% of terrestrial plants and have done so for 400 million years.

These specialized fungi provide plants with nutrients and water in exchange for carbon-based exudates the plant produces through photosynthesis.

Current estimates say that between 4 and 20 percent of all CO2 pulled in by plants ends up stored in mycorrhizal tissues.

Considering plants need to build an entire above-ground structure, a root system, and produce flowers, fruits, and seeds, this is an astounding amount of carbon to allocate to mycorrhizal biomass.

A recent review study estimates that global plant communities transfer 13.1 gigatons of CO2 to the underground mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi each year – equivalent to roughly 1/3 of annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.

The amount of time the carbon is locked up in fungi’s mycelium remains unknown. Nonetheless, the influx of such a massive amount of carbon into the soil is a boon for soil ecology, nutrient cycling, and the health of water cycles.

It is no wonder the formation of terrestrial ecosystems largely started with the mycorrhizal fungi/plant partnership.
