Mushrooms help trees communicate

Fungi seem to be the ultimate species on the earth that keeps the cycle of life going by decaying the dead and regenerating new life

Mycelium is the network of roots created by fungi, mushrooms are the reproductive fruits

Mycelium is everywhere, it creates the largest web network in the world

One hypothesis is that mushrooms played a role in the ultra-fast growth of the human brain and our evolution through mind-expanding compounds (Psychedelic/mind-expanding?/magic mushrooms)

Fungi kill other harmful microbes, hence making for great fertilizers

Trees can communicate through the mycelium to each other to share resources and help each other grow

psychedelic mushrooms can help disassociate fear-condition response - tested on mice (psilocybin - a compound of magic mushrooms), helps in neurogenesis

• Less anxiety, depression, pain, closer relationships, loss of fear of death

• One experience can be life-changing

Mushrooms save bees!
