🌳 "Trees talk. They share food. They warn each other of danger. This isn't poetry. It's peer-reviewed science."

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the hidden life of forests. Trees are connected by a "wood wide web"—an underground network of fungi that links roots across entire ecosystems. Mycelium acts as a biological internet, transmitting chemical signals, carbon, and even defensive warnings . Mother trees identify their own offspring and send them more carbon through the network. When a tree is attacked by insects, its neighbors receive warning signals and boost their chemical defenses. But acid rain, clear-cutting, and invasive earthworms are severing these ancient connections. Join us for a journey into the intelligence of the forest—and why saving it requires understanding what we're destroying.
