Wood Wide Web: Tree Mushroom Internet

We speak a chemical-human language by the miracle that is DMT, the spirit molecule.

What do these lowly blooms want to tell us?

When most of us think of fungus, we imagine mushrooms sprouting out of the ground. But these sprouts are in fact the “fruit” (fruiting bodies) of fungi.

The majority of the fungal organism lives in the soil interwoven with tree roots as a vast network called mycelium.

Mycelium is a network of incredibly tiny “threads” or hyphae/mycelia forming the greater part of the enormous fungal organism.

To visit with us, learn our universal language.

These strands and processes wrap around and bore into tree roots. Taken together, mycelia compose what’s called a “mycorrhizal network,” which connects individual plants together to transfer information, water, nitrogen, carbon, trace minerals, and other nutrients.

German forester Peter Wohlleben dubbed this network the “woodwide web,” as it is through the mycelium that trees “communicate.” More

Plants use an internet of fungus to communicate

An estimated 90 percent of land plants have "mutually beneficial relationships" with fungi, reports the BBC. The strength of these relationships is largely rooted in thin threads called mycelium, which make up the majority of a body of fungus. Mycelium doubles as underground internet fibers referred to as the "wood wide web." Plants use it to share nutrients with their neighbors or sabotage each other... More: grunge.com
