Description

Did you know that underneath the forest floor a sophisticated network of fungi forms a secret super highway between plants? Carrying resources and chemical messengers, this highway acts as a mysterious support system allowing trees to communicate and share material. 
The Mycorrhizal Network, or the Wood Wide Web, was popularised by Dr. Suzanne Simard in her book “Finding the Mother Tree”.
Today, we speak to Gabriel Orrego, a former student of Dr. Simard, co-founder of Symbiótica and our SUGi Forest Maker in Chile.
Together, we’ll explore this secret system of cooperation underneath our feet.
