Back

The woodland floors are just bursting with fungi at this time, as they begin to appear ready to digest the fallen leaves and organic matter of autumn. Beneath every square meter of floor are thousands of miles’ worth of mycelium roots, twining and transmitting nutrients, and acting as the forest’s synapses. These are Fly Agaric, Wood Mushroom, and potentially Shaggy Ink Cap and Prince, but I’d love any more insight on the last two.
