…we are descendants of fungi. Fungi have been here a lot longer than we have. They are network-based organisms. And we know about how important networks are with the computer, internet, a brain, the brain networks. And so, understanding that our origins come from this wellspring of these fungal networks should give us pause to think about how we can preserve the very foundation of the ecosystems that give us life.
