Fungus & Kust
I was watching a mycelial mat grow under a fallen log yesterday, and it looked like a quiet, intricate lattice—almost like an architect’s draft that the forest has been building for centuries. Have you seen something like that in your own studies?
I have, in fact, walked through a tunnel of mycelium that seemed to whisper the forest’s history, each thread a record of a log that once held a deer’s antlers. It’s as if the fungi draft its own blueprint, a quiet geometry only visible to those who pause to listen to the earth’s sigh. Watching it spread feels like tracing the unseen arteries that keep the wood alive long after the tree has gone.
