Fungi have no brain, no neurons, and no central nervous system. Yet, they solve complex spatial problems. They exhibit primordial cognition . They can:
You learn that cooperation (mycorrhizal networks) is just as powerful a survival strategy as competition. You learn that death is not the end, but a meal for something else. You learn that one of the most intelligent "animals" on the planet is a slime mold that fits in a petri dish. mycology lecture
Join us for an immersive lecture exploring the fascinating world of fungi. Often overlooked, fungi are the Earth's primary decomposers and the "natural internet" connecting entire ecosystems. This session will cover: Fungal Diversity: From microscopic yeasts to giant forest networks. The Seven Phyla: Fungi have no brain, no neurons, and no
This is perhaps the most important symbiosis on Earth. About 90% of land plants form a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi. The fungi provide the plant with phosphorus and nitrogen, while the plant provides the fungi with sugars produced through photosynthesis. They can: You learn that cooperation (mycorrhizal networks)
These are microscopic, thread-like filaments that make up the fungal body. They grow from the tips, branching out to explore the substrate.
