Natural Connection

Today we can't imagine life without the internet - the network that connects us all over the planet. One would even call it a revolutionary concept - except that it isn't! For billions of years, such a network already existed. Long before computers, long before electricity & even long before civilization as we know it. Mycelium is a natural network that can be found right beneath our feet. It's a branching colony of fungus and one of the core elements of the natural environment. Unlike the common misconception, fungi isn't (just) the fruiting body we see up above, but the entire entity, including the branch network mycelium. Neither fauna nor flora - fungi is the #1 reclycing mechanism on earth, and communication provider! Through mycelium, the entire natural habitat is intertwined, in a way that lets even trees talk to each other. Isn't that remarkable? Let's see what futher advancements in humankind mycelium will inspire! Do you wanna dive explore the depths of mycelium? Dive in! #NatureAndCivChallenge
