Wondering about the magical intelligence of the Earth and the Forest ✨ Beneath our feet lives an ancient intelligence, an underground cosmos, sending signals through fungi, feeding the forests, shaping the soil and turning death into life. Nutrients flow through it like blood through veins, sugars from strong trees to the weaker ones, nitrogen and minerals carried through ages. Chemical signals and warnings of danger pass along these hidden threads.

I was so lucky that I encountered the body of a fallen tree, which gave me a wonderful and rich insight and teaching of the mycelium, it was still fresh and alive. I was able to discover the Rhizomorphs ✨ they do the whole magic, these are like the dark blood vessels of the forest. Within them pulses the life of the trees. Organic wires shaping an ancient infrastructure. How beautiful? I am so in awe. Without it, we would not exist, cause every tree belongs to a network. But how much do we know about it, by what works in the dark, in silence, to give our whole existence life force? ✨
