Paul Stammets, in his book, 'Mycelium Running ' describes mycelium as a matrix, a biomolecular superhighway, Earth's natural Internet. He also says that within a single cubic inch of topsoil there is enough mycelium cells to stretch more than eight miles if placed end to end. That we must enlist fungi as our allies,against all the man made toxic 'bitter fruits of science', which are causing our environment to break down.
Stammet says, 'tread softly on the web of life'
