The Future of Forestry is Fungi

The Problem:

Forestry is tough - higher input costs, mounting regulatory challenges, and increasing uncertainty over weather conditions, all add to the challenges of high tree mortality rates, slow tree growth, and susceptibility to drought and disease.

The Solution:

The RhizoPellet™: locally sourced, targeted mycorrhizal fungi, specifically adapted for commercial trees; with strains screened for optimal tree growth and soil carbon sequestration - all delivered in a single, easy to apply pellet.

Mycorrhizal biology, engineered for real-world tree planting at scale

With the award winning RhizoPellet™, Rhizocore helps tree plantings establish faster and more consistently by restoring beneficial fungal function in the root zone - supporting improved tree survival, faster early growth, and improved resilience - all while reducing reliance on fertilizer inputs:

Up to 25% reduction in mortality
Up to 50% faster early growth
Supports drought tolerance + pest resilience
Supports increased belowground carbon storage
Drop-in application: no equipment, minimal training

Improved survivability, faster growing, and more resilient trees.

Why are you planting trees?

Different goals. Same challenges: saplings need to establish fast, in real conditions.

In timber systems, the economics hinge on establishment: survival, stocking, early growth, and the reduction of variability that can positively impact rotation length and long-term yield.

Moisture stress (e.g., drought) can slow early growth and weaken seedlings at exactly the time you need them to build momentum; early stress can also increase susceptibility to damaging pressures later.
RhizoPellets are designed to restore beneficial mycorrhizal function around roots, supporting faster establishment, stronger stress tolerance, and more consistent early performance - while helping reduce fertilizer dependence as a repeated lever (and reduce cost).
Crucially, application is operationally simple: place the pellet in the planting hole alongside the seedling - no specialized equipment, minimal training, and compatible with existing planting workflows.
Carbon plantings succeed when outcomes are credible, measurable, and durable - and the market is increasingly intolerant of weak claims.
Integrity frameworks, such as The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), emphasize high-quality carbon credits that can stand up to scrutiny on quantification, permanence, and governance.
RhizoPellets support a carbon story that is both biologically grounded and operationally scalable: healthier establishment, improved survival, and stronger resilience that can reduce reversal risk from drought and stress events, while supporting belowground carbon storage through improved root-zone function.
Just as important, the “drop-in” method is practical at the scale carbon projects demand - no disruption to planting operations and no additional equipment burden.
Reforestation is often constrained by tight planting windows, seedling/sapling supply limits, labor availability, and site readiness - and the consequences of failure can be costly, especially when projects are trying to recover from disturbance or meet public goals under increasing climate stress.
US agencies are explicitly pushing “climate-informed reforestation” to improve establishment outcomes under changing conditions, because getting seedlings and saplings to successfully establish can be the make-or-break step.
RhizoPellets are built for that reality: a field-friendly, low-friction intervention designed to improve early establishment and resilience where soils have lost functional mycorrhizal networks - without adding operational complexity to crews already under pressure.
Conservation plantings are judged on long-term ecosystem outcomes: durable survival, habitat function, watershed protection, biodiversity recovery, and resilience - not simply trees planted.
The real-world cost and complexity of establishing forests successfully over time should not be underestimated; projects can find themselves set up for failure if early survival and maintenance aren’t planned for realistically.
RhizoPellets support the biological foundation of establishment by helping restore beneficial fungal relationships in the soil that underpin water and nutrient uptake and early resilience - improving the odds that conservation plantings become functioning, self-sustaining systems - rather than short-lived efforts that require repeated replanting.

One Pellet, Multiple Benefits:

Establishment

RhizoPellet™ use = less fertiliser, reducing replanting costs AND faster establishment.

Using the pellets can also reduce other work/inputs, such as herbicide and weeding, meaning even better ROI

Growth

Faster growing, healthier trees means higher returns - both in terms of timber or carbon (more of your end product).

Faster growth also means you can start claiming carbon more quickly, because you can hit your key metrics faster.

Resilience

RhizoPellet™ = Stronger roots = Increased Drought Protection.

Healthier trees are more resilient to pests and disease - the roots are also directly protected against root-borne pathogens.

Reducing establishment costs, while increasing yields, results in measurable profit uplift for commercial operations using RhizoPellets™

How it all works:

The Biology:

Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with tree roots that support nutrient and water uptake and overall plant resilience - this is especially important in poor quality soils

The Delivery:

RhizoPellets deliver locally relevant mycorrhizal fungi in a form designed specifically for planting crews: drop the pellet into the planting hole beside the sapling. Easy as that.

Easy to Scale:

No new equipment. Minimal training. No disruption to standard workflows - which is why adoption at scale is achievable

We are building our US presence with an Atlanta-based hub to support commercial supply, partnerships, and long-term scale.

At the same time, our global mission continues: building the world’s most advanced living fungal libraries and commercializing mycorrhizal solutions in a way that creates a virtuous cycle - revenue funding deeper research, deeper research unlocking better outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

No. RhizoPellets are designed to restore beneficial fungal function in the root zone. They complement good planting practices and can reduce dependence on fertilizer inputs in many programs (site-dependent)
The RhizoPellets (TM) product has been designed from the ground up specifically for real crews: simply drop a single pellet into the planting hole beside the saplings when planting.

Easy as that - No additional equipment or training required.
As with anything to do with biological systems, outcomes can be impacted by many factors, including species, site, and conditions/weather (to name but a few).

The results are clear - the presence of specifically targeted mycorrhizal fungi consistently improves outcomes, but that alone cannot guarantee success
Whatever happens, we communicate results clearly, and conservatively, focusing on fit-for-purpose deployment and giving the projects the best chances of success.
We’re speaking to partners now to arrange supplies for their planting projects from late 2026/early 2027.

Let’s Work Together

We’re currently prioritizing conversations with organizations planning major planting programs in late 2026 and 2027, with supply expected from Q1 2027.

If you’re building a multi-site program - across timber, carbon, reforestation, or conservation - we know that early planning helps align volumes, sites, and timelines.
