To what degree do mycorrhizal fungus play a role in communication within tree species? And I wonder if between different tree species if the fungi aid in that kind of communication.
12:17
Yeah, that's a special word.
12:18
First, we don't know where we should put those fungi in.
12:23
Are they plants? Are they animals? Modern science says that they are animals.
12:27
That's the reason why, for example, fungi which you eat tastes so good because it's more like animal protein.
12:42
And we are on the same branch of evolution than fungi.
12:46
So that are not plants.

uh to the taiga to a tropical forest to a dry forest what do we know about differences in the fungal community associated with trees in different forest types.

Das ist wirklich, du hast recht.
45:38
Und das ist schade, ne, weil wir haben gut ausgebildete Menschen.
45:42
Die Mehrheit der Leute möchte was tun.
45:44
Äh, die Mehrheit der Leute, klar, möchte sich nicht gängeln lassen.
45:46
Wir haben eine überbordende Bio-Bürokratie.
45:48
Da brauchen wir uns gar nicht, äh, groß drüber, äh, zu unterhalten.
45:52
Es ist ja klar, viel zu viel Dinge, allein wenn man 'n Haus bauen will, die ganzen Anträge, Anschlüsse, sonst irgendwas.
