and sometimes they help me speak to trees.
LOL
You can always talk to trees though. You need the fungi to hear what the trees are saying.
Made me laugh
In the future scientists will have versions of doom that run on trees and have mycological network multiplayer options.
More like an ad-hoc endocrine system then any kind of speech. Honestly don’t really like how that mechanism is portrayed as speech. Certainly it helped the person who figured it out sell a lot of books, but it’s quite the misnomer.
i wish they’d at least compare it to a computer network instead, there’s no intelligence, just information being passed along.
After all, it’s only intelligence when I do it.
Imagine the first time a tree gets to talk to the other trees. Like, it talks to itself for a decade or two before someone touches it and now it can hear dozens of voices.
kind of like your genital situation
Plugging a book i liked…The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben.
Made me look at trees and forests a whole new way.
honestly it’s less magic and more cosmic horror, fungi are literally the source of most of the organic decay we’re used to (especially rotting trees), and the fact that they effectively are the ground in many places is not in any way magical because aaaaaaa
I’ve got bad news for you about magic.
In any case, I’m willing to put it in my mouth.
Only the edible one please.
No matter how many times & how much times I think of this Im in aww.
Such neat & smart package delivery system with it’s own power and agenda.
Joel : shoot em in the head Ellie : got it
God damn symbiotes!
I wonder how fungi are perceiving and responding to climate change. I bet they’re aware, maybe have been for a long time
Fantastic Fungi, great documentary!
This sounds like someone quoting the movie Phenomenon.
