Mycelium is the network of fungal threads that often live underground but also live in rotting organic matter such as tree trunks.

Healthy soil relies on robust fungal networks. They are responsible for breaking down organic matter to make minerals available to plants. They also live in symbiosis with many many plants and form underground communication networks in ecosystems.

Many species also break down and process pesticides, chemicals and even some human made matter - making them a vital ally in our toxin laden world.

Thier fruiting bodies are the sometimes toxic but often delicious, nutritious and fun mushrooms.

They are the original, and ultimate, World Wide Web.
