Do Fungi Rule Us?
What do we know about fungi? They are neither animals nor plants. Some are poisonous, many are delicious. But that was the main point. Fungi have barely been studied. They are among the oldest and most diverse life forms on our planet. Who knew that in primitive times, plants could only develop with the help of fungi? To this day, 90% of all plants depend on the close community of fungi. Fungi are everywhere. In the soil, in the air, in our bodies. They form immense networks. Researchers have nicknamed it the "Wood Wide Web." The fungal mycelium that grows underground is made up of what are called hyphae. They are five times thinner than a human hair and have very sensitive abilities to perceive their environment.
