Of all the gin joints! Last night I literally just read this precise factoid Chapter 9 of The Light Eaters! The entire book is stuffed with examples of plant “behavior” (which is finally not such a dirty word as it’s been for the last 50 years!) “The amino acids glutamate and glycine, important neurotransmitters in our brains and spines that are recently understood to be important to plant signaling, actually pass between plants and fungi at the junctures where the two connect.”* It’s hard not to look outside and not see the mesh all around me now!
*Zoë Schlanger by way of Suzanne W. Simard’s “Mycorrhizal Networks…” 2018

How fun! I find important information often shows up in clumps. The more we look, the more we learn, the more we see how everything is connected.
The mesh of/is God. No joke!
Try reading Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. It’s exactly what you are talking about. Amazing book.
I've just now reserved the ebook from my library. Thank you
We’re all enmeshed and speaking of fungi...have you googled the music mushrooms make? Their frequency is so sweet!
Not until just now. I listened to some of this: https://www.instagram.com/taruntspoon/ and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0tNEp4m5PY. Super cool!
Oh, so happy you heard it!
