There is a more diverse conversation rich with more a complex analysis of their enviormental status underground by way of thread like mycellium of fungi and mushrooms The fungi help deliver water and are rewarded with sugar from the roots of plants. This grape vine conversation, so to speak, is similar to a phone or internet connection. This 'treemail' can cover vast areas or none at all. Plants that 'pay' more, get a better 'neural net' connection. From what I know about Amazonian cubensis I can say some fungi communicate with humans in ways I might have thought impossible. Still beauty/information is in the mind of the beholder. I bet Stevie Wonder, composer of the Secret Life of Plants, would like this. |
