Entangled Life

Before plants.

Well, or even Merlin Sheldrake in Entangled Life states that plants learn to root from fungi.

Like plant roots are pretty inefficient, but 95% of plants roots form ectomycorrhizal or endomycorrhizal partnerships with fungi in order to absorb the proper nutrients from their environment.

So it's weird because they seem so alien to us, but they're so much more endemic to this earth than so much else.

That's been a really cool one.

And then another one I've got to recommend is Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.

I've been doing a reread of that one.

Really fascinating, thought-provoking look at mushrooms, fungi in general.
