Mushrooms in Nature
The great underground network, known as mycelium, occasionally likes to show off and yield fruiting bodies: Mushrooms. Just as these mycelial web-like structures extend throughout and between forests, they demonstrate similarities
to our own central nervous systems and neural pathways.

In exchange for breaking down old trees and reconstituting them back into the earth, the mycelium gives back, by delivering nutrients from the soil to the roots of the trees, passing messages and conducting a key role within the greatest symphony the world has ever seen.
