Korena Mafune’s curiosity in fungal networks stems from trying to understand the hidden world that lies beneath her feet. Mafune’s recent study explores the rich diversity of canopy soils, the soils located on the tops of old growth forests in the Olympic rainforest. These hidden reservoirs act as a nutritional “snack” for trees and give her answers to the resilience of some of the oldest forests. Part of the "Human Elements" series.
