"What if, below our feet and our day-to-day lives, the unseen underground mycorrhizal networks whose symbiotic fungi exchange carbon and sugars and hormones with plants and trees above the ground, what if that hidden world was another profound reflection of how all life arises from the unseen and unmanifested to become the manifested and “real” world we see, live, and garden in? Recent research is clarifying more and more how trees interact with their environments above and below ground, and how trees are not separate independent entities."
