Highlighting Fungi: Behind the Scenes with Razor

We were thrilled to be featured in a recent Razor documentary on YouTube - a special insight into the hidden world beneath our forests and the critical role fungi play in ecosystem health.

The film follows our mycologists, Emma Craib and our CEO Dr. Toby Parkes, as they explore woodlands in Scotland to collect native fungal species. It captures a fundamental truth: most of what we see above ground, mushrooms and fruiting bodies, is only a small part of a much bigger underground network of mycelium that supports nutrient cycling, soil structure, and tree health.

Fungi aren’t just decomposers. They form essential partnerships with trees, helping them access water and nutrients, resist stress, and thrive in challenging conditions. But many forests today lack this fungal diversity - especially in replanted or degraded landscapes.

At Rhizocore, that’s where our work begins. Through careful collection, isolation, and cultivation, we bring native fungi back into the soil via Rhizopellets, helping restore the underground networks that forests depend on.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Razor Science Insight team for capturing this story so beautifully and helping bring the unseen world of fungi to life. Their film doesn’t just show mushrooms , it reveals the life and connections that make forests resilient.

🎥 Watch the full feature on YouTube to see the science, the forests, and the fungi in action.

As we continue to scale our work and reach more sites, films like this help share why restoring fungal communities matters - for soil, for trees, for carbon, and for the resilience of nature itself.
