Restoring the underground networks of forests
Rhizocore Technologies produces locally-adapted mycorrhizal fungi to enhance tree planting success. By working with native fungi, we offer a sustainable solution to accelerate woodland regeneration, improve forest productivity, and increase natural capital benefits.

Dive into a world of innovation and sustainability with Rhizocore
Beneath almost every forest floor lies a network of fungi that helps trees by supplying essential nutrients through their roots. However, when trees are felled, these fungi quickly die. As a result, replanting in these areas becomes more challenging, leading to slower tree growth, higher mortality rates, and reduced carbon sequestration.
At Rhizocore, we believe that growing symbiotic fungi is just as important as growing trees. These fungi create intricate networks, which are key to a future that works in harmony with the natural world.
Restoring woodland ecosystems begins with one powerful tool: the Rhizopellet. Each pellet contains locally sourced fungi, bespoke to each planting site. By introducing a Rhizopellet into the soil alongside a young sapling, we enhance the tree's ability to establish strong roots and thrive in its environment, ensuring its long-term health and growth for future generations.
Growth Rates
By applying the right fungal strains, saplings experience increased growth rates of up to 50 %.
Tree Resilience
Trees develop stronger resistance to droughts and root diseases, potentially saving up to £400 per hectare in management costs.
Carbon Storage
Utilising our Rhizopellet increases tree and soil carbon capture by 20%, strengthening forest carbon sinks.
