Have you heard of the 'wood wide web'?
Trees are linked to the trees around them by an underground network of thread-like strands of mycorrhizal fungi so they can communicate and help each other. Through this incredible network trees can support their neighbors by sharing nutrients, water or even carbon if they are younger or struggling. They can also send signals to activate plant defenses when a neighbor has been attacked by a hungry herbivore or nasty pathogen.
Mycorrhizae also play an important role in helping plants absorb nutrients and in return they receive carbohydrates and oxygen. Although mostly underground, we can see evidence of these expansive networks of when mushrooms pop up on trees or on the forest floor. These mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi and created through this beautiful relationship.
Some of the most popular and delicious edible mushrooms that come from these forest ecosystems are chanterelles, porcini, morels and truffles. And there are others with pschoactive properties such as the fly agaric. Others can be toxic or look similar, so its very important to take extra care when foraging.
