 „When most of us think of fungus, we imagine mushrooms sprouting out of the ground.
Those mushrooms are in fact the “fruit” of the fungus. While the majority of the fungal organism lives in the soil. Interwoven with tree roots building a vast network of mycelium.
Mycelium is incredibly tiny “threads” of the greater fungal organism that wrap around or bore into tree roots. Taken together, mycelium composes what’s called a “mycorrhizal network,” which connects individual plants to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon, and other minerals.
German forester Peter Wohlleben dubbed this network the “wood-wide web,” as it is through the mycelium that trees “communicate.”
