Plant language and the mycorrhizal network
A person who has traveled in huge wet forests like the Amazon has seen the large and tall trees. These types of trees are the oldest trees in that area. There are hundreds of thousands of grandchild trees born from these trees.🌳
These older trees communicate with their younger generations. They exchange vitamins, they exchange supplies, and they exchange knowledge/wisdom gained during their lifetime. But to do all these things, like other animal species, two arms and two legs There is no mouth to talk about. Instead, they use a mycorrhizal network. Let’s talk about that mycorrhizal network in this article. 🌳 🌳
When we see a big tree, we can only see a strong trunk, spreading branches, flowers, fruits, etc. But under the ground, invisible to our eyes, the root system has spread so that this tree can be strong and dependent. A fungus called Mycorrhizae grows in the apical parts of a tree where the roots extend. It is with the help of this fungus that it is possible to communicate with other trees. In the mycorrhizae fungus, which is connected to the root cell of a tree, a root network spreads like the roots of a tree. Just like a nerve network. The mycorrhizae fungus and its branches are called a Mycelium. 🤔🤔
This spreading mycelium connects to the mycelium of the mycorrhizae fungus that lives in the root hairs of…
