From fungal relationships of plants, trees, whole forests, and the Human mind to Bioremediation, this book has it all.
One of the more fascinating areas of Sheldrake's work involves visualizing just how interconnected trees, shrubs, and grasses are. This figure by Simard et al. in a (2012) study shows mycelial network spatial topography in a 30 meter by 30 meter plot of Douglas Fir Trees.
It's a map of 67 trees being connected by three different endo/ectomycorrhizae fungal species. One of these trees was found to be connected to 47 other trees via 8 _R. vesiculus_ colonies and 3 _R. vinicolor_ colonies. It's a network of resource and chemical information sharing.
Everything is connected and in soils this is the architecture of those connections.
Find more mind blowing facts about fungal life and pick up this book ASAP. You will never look at a forest the same way again.
