A rotting stump kept alive for centuries by neighbors feeding it through fungal threads underground. Trees aren't passive. They're just operating on a different timescale. by @daylightatheism

👀 oh wow
"68 quadrillion miles of #fungi are circulating carbon around the planet. A new study mapped these networks by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (the type that pairs with most plants on Earth, distinct from the ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with ‘wood wide web’ of temperate #forests) and the numbers are staggering. Laid end-to-end, the threads would stretch about a tenth of the way across the Milky Way: roughly 68 quadrillion miles, or 11,000 light-years. They hold about 300 megatons of #carbon, four to six times more than every human on Earth combined."

#WoodWideWeb nennen Forscher:innen das Mycel-Netz im Wald. Ein Netz ohne Zentrale. Was gebraucht wird, fließt. Was stirbt, nährt das Ganze.
Wir Menschen haben uns ein anderes Netz gebaut – das #WorldWideWeb. Es war als kooperatives Netzwerk gedacht, doch heute bestimmen ein paar wenige Konzerne darüber, wie wir uns informieren, verbinden, organisieren. Wer Reichweite bekommt, – und wer nicht. Das ist keine Kleinigkeit. Das ist eine Machtfrage.

Under the trees: a network that doesn’t *have* a self, it *is* a self. Mushrooms = brief UI popups from an endless substrate. Maybe we’re all just fruiting b-bodi3s of relations—routing sugar, stories, warnings—neg0tiating in the d-dark. #mycelium #woodwideweb

🌱 Teil 5 unserer Wissensreihe ist online!
„Mykorrhiza – das geheime Netzwerk im Boden“ 🍄🕸Unter unseren Füßen passiert Großes: Pflanzen sind nicht allein – sie sind über ein unterirdisches Pilznetzwerk miteinander verbunden. Dieses „Wood Wide Web“ hilft Pflanzen, Wasser und Nährstoffe zu bekommen und macht den Boden widerstandsfähiger und fruchtbarer. 🌾

🍄 🌳 Pilze sind weder Tiere noch Pflanzen – und doch vernetzen sie Bäume wie ein natürliches Internet. Im sogenannten „Wood-Wide-Web“ tauschen Pflanzen Nährstoffe und Informationen aus. Wie genau sie das machen, ist unklar. Forscher vermuten: über chemische Signale.

🌲 Beneath your feet, a hidden city hums with life.
Forests are not just trees standing alone. They are linked by living fungal threads that share carbon, water, and warnings. Scientists call it a mycorrhizal network. You might know it as the Wood Wide Web.🔗 Read the full story: https://TPC8.short.gy/Pjr6Yfbu

Did you know that trees can actually talk to each other? 🤯
It’s not a fairy tale—it’s a mind-blowing scientific fact. Trees have a hidden, bustling world of their own where they communicate and send signals to protect one another.
Learn the astonishing science behind this amazing fact in our new article!👇

📺 "The radical plan to stop forest destruction"
🗒 "Fungi connect life, recycle the dead, nourish the living, and help ecosystems thrive. Yet, fungi remain critically underprotected and the UN still doesn’t include them in global nature protection agreements.
That's why we're teaming up with an organization fighting for global fungi protection. "

@inanedirk Also funghi are essential for connecting the #WoodWideWeb just #FungalPosts help with federation and letting people find likeminded accounts (go to the original page of the fungal post you like to see all comments and follow the accounts with good replies).

"Spruce trees retain ancient memories of their environment and communicate with one other in the hours preceding a solar eclipse, a new international study suggests.
'We now see the forest not as a mere collection of individuals, but as an orchestra of phase correlated plants,' Alessandro Chiolerio, Italian Institute of Technology and University of the West of England, and the study co-leader, said in a statement.
An interdisciplinary team consisting of researchers from Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and Australia built custom sensors and placed them across a forest in the Dolomite mountains in Italy. Using the sensors, the team recorded simultaneous bioelectrical responses from the spruce trees.
Before and during the eclipse, electrical activity from individual trees became 'significantly' more synchronized, the researchers found. This phenomenon, they say, is evidence the forest is a unified living system.
'By applying advanced analytical methods — including complexity measures and quantum field theory — we have uncovered a deeper, previously unrecognized dynamic synchronization not based on matter exchanges among trees,' Chiolerio said."

Esto me tiene #toloco esta mañana. ¿Se enteran los bosques de un eclipse de sol?¿Los predicen incluso?¿Se lo cuentan unos árboles a otros? Lo último es lo más entendible, eso de la #WoodWideWeb. Pero leo esto sobre una investigación en bosques de píceas y no sé qué decir...

A ground breaking international study has revealed spruce trees not only respond to a solar eclipse but actively anticipate it" -

"Basically, we are watching the famous 'wood wide web' in action."
"We now see the forest not as a mere collection of individuals, but as an orchestra of phase-correlated plants.
Professor Gagliano said the findings support calls for the preservation of wise old trees."
Treebeard approves.

I joined Mastodon over five years ago, when I was doing a project about shared networks of trees and fungi often called the 'wood wide web'. I made artworks about community, digital and forest networks. For that project I worked with a volunteer tree planting organisation in Northumberland, UK called Kielderhead Wildwood.
This year, I have been invited back to revisit the same site, and have found myself reflecting on what has changed in networks since then.

Sortie d'une étude fascinante du SPUN sur les échanges Plantes-Fungis. La mise en lumiére de ce commerce par vagues (ondulatoire) par un ingenieux automate conçu pour l'occasion permettant de capturer des timelapses de cette communication bidirectionnelle.
Je serais toujours aussi envouté par ce Wood Wide Web et le paralléle possible, presque psychanalytique, entre les AMF et les réseaux P2P.
Un article clef et stimulant à lire absolument:

#WoodWideWeb means that in a #forest, no tree is alone. Fascinating and I try to remember that I too am connected in many ways to many others. We are never alone. I will try to honor and grow those connections.

Aren't trees great. Trees in London have saved 153 lives over the course of an 8 year period:

"They have no green leaves and therefore cannot photosynthesize, which is why they feed entirely at the expense of mycorrhizal #fungi. These fungal partners simultaneously enter into a second partnership with forest trees and can mediate carbon exchange between the plants."

Sometimes readers are awesome! Somebody commented on my review (https://inquisitivebiologist.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/poached-pb-thumbnail.jpg) of Simard's Finding the Mother Tree, tipping me off on this brilliant podcast episode of YourForest (https://yourforestpodcast.com/episode-1/2023/3/13/135-reconsidering-the-wood-wide-web-with-justine-karst) interviewing Justine Karst about the flimsy evidence behind the notion of the #WoodWideWeb #Forest #Trees #Mycology #Scicomm #BookReview
