I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind. The mycelium stays in constant molecular communication with its environment, devising diverse enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges. . Paul Stamets
About This Quote

Mycelium is the underground network of fungi that covers most of the Earth’s surface. It is a web of networks with billions of organisms, making up the world’s largest organism. Mycelium is also known as “lichen”, “fungus”, or “mushroom”. It starts with an individual mycelium that grows outwards in a layered structure.

These layers are called mycelia, which are fungal bodies formed by the hyphae, lifelines for the fungus. As mycelia are spread across the Earth, they are constantly in contact with one another. Mycelium not only spread throughout the surface of the Earth but it also spreads throughout the body of living things through channels or pores called hyphae. These hyphae penetrate shallow-rooted plants, where they connect to other hyphae and grow deep into the tissue.

This process makes them perfect systems for spreading messages between cells within one organism and across different organisms.
