Trees, fungus and the brain of the Forest floor

[NoGoodAtScreenNames]

Just listened to this podcast about how trees cooperate with fungus to get nutrients and communicate with other trees in the area. As with all things radiolab, the topic is a lot more entertaining to listen to than you would think.

Anyway, just thought folks on this forum might get a kick out of it. Have a listen when you have some time.

Very cool. Well worth the listen. We should all understand this type of natural interaction. Thanks for posting!
