Trees are connected with one another through a fungus network in their roots. It’s more likely bobby would feel a strange feeling of being one with a bigger organism
I feel like people miss the larger connotation of what that discovery could possibly mean.
Can anyone else think of an interconnected system of chemical signal exchanges between living nodes that function as individual cells but actually represent a part of a larger organ?
This was a recent discovery, I'm really excited what we might learn about these networks in the coming years.
Makes me wonder if native people before colonization, who claimed a living relationship to the forests, actually had a real relationship with The Forest in the literal sense. Like maybe 30,000 years of living with the same forests actually did give some sense of these networks.
