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
Below the surface of almost all forest floors, are networks of extraordinary fungi that support their trees by supplying essential nutrients through their roots. These fungi quickly die when their host trees are felled, and when we try to replant on these areas, trees have a harder time establishing, leading to slower growth rates, higher mortality, and lost potential for carbon sequestration.
We believe that growing symbiotic fungi is just as important as growing trees. The complex webs they weave are our path to a future that is more aligned with the interconnected networks of nature.
Restoring our planet’s woodland ecosystems starts with one small but mighty cube of fungi: the Rhizopellet. Our pellets contain fungi that we locally source, bespoke to each planting site. Adding one into the soil with a young sapling ensures the tree will be given the best chance of taking root in its new home, ready to flourish and stand tall for generations to come.
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.
