Forester Suzanne Simard has helped discover the ways trees can communicate with one another, often across great distances.
Using mycelium networks composed of fungi, trees can communicate, help ensure they aren’t competing for resources with each other, and even share nutrients.
Suzanne Simard’s Ted Talk “How trees talk to each other” walks you through the basics of the mycelium network, often referred to as the “Wood Wide Web.”
“Underground there is this other world, a world of infinite biological pathways.”
