From mycology books and articles, I read that most land plants (> 80 percent) on Earth live in symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi. In this symbiosis, plants provide glucose to fungi and fungi provide water and nutrients to the plants. Without fungi, plants cannot harvest nutrients in sufficient quantity directly from the substrate.
Seeing as trees "eat" CO2 and fungi breathe it out, is the notion that humans could sequester our CO2 garbage by planting trees not somewhat suspect?
