Micellium


Fungi are one of the oldest known plants and probably one of the most important.

Their roots or micellium are usually hidden underground and microscopic. They break down minerals and nutrients and make them readily available to other plants. These symbiotic relationships with other plants can extend root systems for kilometers.

Scientists are only just starting to learn about this sensitive and fragile web beneath our feet.

I think we will never full understand everything but can take a tread lightly approach and learn how to read nature and the existing systems.
