Fabulous Fungal Metaphors

Fungi offer rich, evocative, funny metaphors about symbiosis and collaboration in nature, which fit our mission at Open Global Mind to create a shared, interconnected memory for humans in multiple ways, including:

• Mycelia in the Wood Wide Web
• Leaf-Cutter Ants Can't Digest Leaves. So Why Are They Taking Leaves to Their Nests?
• Mushrooms Externalize Their Digestion
• Fungi are the Principal Decomposers in Ecological Systems
• Mycoremediation
• Mushrooms Are the Fruiting Bodies of Mycelium, (so NeoBooks are Mushrooms of The Big Fungus)
• Hyphae Connect
• Fungi Can Be Huge
• The Matsutake's Peculiar Ecosystem
• Magic Mushrooms
• Data as Healthy Soil
