A fascinating read by some of the very people who helped spread that idea in the first place. Now this is science.

I climbed a tree to get on top of the wood wide web to post my message! Have a happy Saturday 🐶🌳💙

They also communicate with predators of those that eat them such as calling birds to come eat the caterpillars munching their leaves & cut grass smell is the grass screaming (One of the watches, Springwatch etc. Chris Packham).

"A team of mycorrhizal researchers has discovered some painful truths about these fungal connections we have all come to be fascinated with. Justine Karst breaks down the myths and misconceptions about Common Mycorrhizal Networks (CMN), and the pain it caused her to do so."

Fakt oder Wunschvorstellung? Das mit #Baumwurzeln verknüpfte Pilzgeflecht im #Waldboden soll wahre Wunderdinge leisten: Die #Mykorrhiza dient den #Waldbäumen als Kommunikationsnetzwerk, als Transportweg für Nährstoffe und als Versorgungsleitung zwischen alten #Bäumen und Jungpflanzen – so das in Büchern und Medien propagierte Bild des pilzlichen „#WoodWideWeb“. Doch wie fundiert sind diese Behauptungen? Das haben Mykorrhizaforscher jetzt genauer überprüft. #Wald

I love it when this leafless orchid pops up in #SevenHillsBushlandReserve. Without much photosynthesis, Hyacinth Orchid (Dipodium variegatum) probably trades nutrients and energy with underground #fungi and the roots of nearby #Eucalyptus trees. Just what it offers in return is a bit of a mystery. One idea is that it protects fungi of the genus Russula. Another is that it may give back nutrients when associated trees are under stress. All part of the #WoodWideWeb. #nature #australia #flora

Das #WoodWideWeb ist das Internet des Waldes. Die „Lan-Verbindungen“ bestehen aus feinen Pilzfäden, die sich durch den gesamten #Waldboden ziehen. Sie verknüpfen #Bäume, Sträucher und die meisten höheren Pflanzen miteinander. Ein reger Austausch an Nährstoffen, Wasser und Botenstoffen findet in den dünnen Leitungen der #Pilzhyphen statt
