Mycorrhizal Network

Trees in a forest are often connected by mycorrhizal fungi, forming a "wood wide web." Through this network, they can exchange nutrients, water, and even send warning signals about insect infestations or diseases to neighboring trees, demonstrating complex ecological cooperation previously unknown.

Known as the "Wood Wide Web," mycorrhizal fungi connect tree roots, allowing them to share water, nutrients, and even warning signals about insect infestations or diseases. This complex symbiotic relationship supports forest health.
