“The total length of mycorrhizal hyphae in the top in the top 10cm of soil is around half the width of our galaxy 4.5 quadrillion km of hyphae.”
“Mycorrhizal hyphae die back and regrow so rapidly... that over a million years their cumulative length would exceed the diameter of the known universe, 48 billion light years of hyphae vs 9.1 billion light years in the known universe.”
