  • A new animation discussing the evolution of mycorrhizal fungal relationships from SPUN and @FFungi made by the amazing May Kindred-Boothby with narration from @MerlinSheldrakeVideo.
    Music made by @CosmoSheldrake from subterranean sounds recorded with microphones buried in the soil, and the bioelectrical activity of fungi recorded with electrodes.

      Definately not, as algae and fungis are living too. But everything more complex than these two may got their chances just because of this relationship.
      The beauty in both, this wonders and this piece of educational art are stunning. Thank you!

    Ok, as you can see I am a professional grower of marijuana and I have been trying to get people to understand fungi and the myccorrhizal connection for years, YEARS. I have a very special fungi I grow (by accident) its a long story but just a scoop of this introduced to sterile soil and in w weeks you have the perfect media for growing specific strains. Anyways if people knew what I had they would flock to me with cash in hand but what I would love to do is send you a sample and have you do a workup, I think it's time I mass produced this stuff. It's a miracle what it does.

    How can you be sure that the first life on earth was created in fresh water? Why not in the ocean? Perhaps it was non-C, perhaps N-based, living on a thermal vent on the ocean floor? How can you be sure that algae was alive before mycelium? Perhaps it was lichen or a primal version of it that made its way out of the ocean and onto land first, and at some point plants (algae) broke loose of the mycelium structure?

    Hairlike tendrils spanning meters connecting plants and minerals, AND in unavoidable electromagnetic contact. An actual common experience. The Birth of Gaia as an internet. No mind, no need...its surface mobiles have the senses and wants. The gaia in their guts act as modems of gaia sense. They nearly all sense it, we call it soul. We do all go back to Gaia; the One, First, and Self-born.

    What does prescribed fire in a forest, on short return intervals, do to this network?

    • @spununderground
      @spununderground  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We don't study this ourselves, but you could check out this paper about forests in the southwestern United States as a starting point: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S037811271500078X
      From the abstract: "Our data show that while the recurring burning or the season of the prescribed burning do not affect richness and diversity of the fungal communities, the frequent (two and three year interval) fires maintain a fire-adapted community that is distinct from those in unburned reference plots.We conclude that frequent prescribed burning maintains fire selected soil fungal communities that may support plant communities that are composed of desired fire adapted or fire tolerant species that dominate the frequently burned areas."

      So right. We don't need them. We need food, which feeds of nutrients coming from either proteins means animals, or plants or is made from plants itself. And we need oxygen, which is made by plants as well....and most of the plants need fungi...oh, wait!
