After watching fascinating documentary on Netflix called “Fantastic Fungi” I discovered that mushrooms can also communicate. In fact, they form network between trees, so they can communicate with each other.
Mycorris networks, consisting of looting mushrooms and roots of trees, help regulate the diversity and stability of ecosystems, allowing the trees to report their condition to the surrounding “relatives”. For example, an adult d tree can “share” useful sugars with a young piglery.
That reminded me of people and internet, our vital system of connection.
