Functional Mushrooms
Mushrooms are biological communicators, forming vast invisible networks that connect individual plants and transfer water and nutrients. As mushrooms grow, they enrich the forest floor and plants in a symbiotic relationship, a form of communication some have coined as the Wood Wide Web. This ability to manipulate the plant kingdom at a deep cellular level is also what makes them so valuable to us. In humans, research shows that they can be thought of as biological response modifications (BRMs), acting on the immune system to restore balance where it is needed.
