It's legit:
t’s actually pretty basic. You put up a fake tree with “leaves” that are impregnated with sodium carbonate. When it interacts with carbon dioxide, the magic of chemistry kicks in. The sodium carbonate yanks a carbon atom for itself, turning into sodium bicarbonate, while leaving the two oxygen atoms to float free and unencumbered through the atmosphere.
Also, it doesn’t need solar power to work. You can pretty much just leave these things lying around anywhere and they’ll do their job, because chemistry is cool like that. It also means that you can cram many more “leaves” into the “tree”, meaning you can suck up a lot more atmospheric crap.

Following a link or two from that page, it turns out that mycorrhizal fungi are not as absolutely super as I was lead to believe...it's complicated though-http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22228-fungi-could-thwart-carbon-capture-efforts.html
