How I got here
- Started with
- “wood wide web evidence”
- Ended at
- “karst 2023 mycorrhizal networks review”
The Trail
- “wood wide web evidence” (google.com)
- Mycorrhizal network (en.wikipedia.org)
- Suzanne Simard (en.wikipedia.org)
- Mycorrhiza (en.wikipedia.org)
- “karst 2023 mycorrhizal networks review” (google.com)
What I came away with
Fungal networks between trees exist, but a 2023 review found the field evidence that trees deliberately share resources or 'talk' through them is thin, and a lot of popular claims trace back to a few small studies.
