Contextual Quote
"A “fungal turn” is indeed taking the world by spore — although, if we connect deeply enough with the prehistoric transitions of this planet we call home, it becomes clear that the rich tapestry of life’s collective history has always been stitched together with the hyphal threads of the humble mushroom. Since the dawn of life on this planet — and especially in times of great geological shift — fungi have played a pivotal role in the networked redistribution of life-sustaining resources on a global scale. Everything alive today owes a debt of gratitude to the upward trophic flows of energy resulting from the infinitude of resource-sharing interconnections among mycelial economies over time immemorial. For millennia, we understood this economic interconnection intuitively. For most of humanity’s time on this planet, we existed inseparably within communal ecosystems of redistribution and respect for nature, in alignment with the ebb and flow of the seasons."
