NARRATOR Plants and fungi created one of Earth's
00:00:08.467 --> 00:00:11.734
first complex terrestrial ecosystems
00:00:11.734 --> 00:00:17.734
00:00:17.734 --> 00:00:23.001
And their partnership continues to this day
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:27.834
00:00:27.834 --> 00:00:30.567
It's often easy to spot mushrooms
00:00:30.567 --> 00:00:34.567
which are the reproductive part of some types of fungi
00:00:37.467 --> 00:00:42.267
But most fungi live underground where we can't see them
00:00:42.267 --> 00:00:44.134
So this plant has grown
00:00:44.134 --> 00:00:46.167
with a fungal partner and you can see that
00:00:46.167 --> 00:00:48.134
with the plant roots being intermingled
00:00:48.134 --> 00:00:49.434
with fungal filaments
00:00:49.434 --> 00:00:52.167
and these wrap themselves around the plant roots
00:00:52.167 --> 00:00:55.000
and form these intimate associations
