I suspect the answer to a lot of life’s mysteries is fungus.

North American mushroom hunters circle August on their calendars, when the sheer proliferation of fungi reaches its peak in the mid to late summer woods. In a healthy Appalachian forest, fungi emerge in a mind-boggling procession of forms and colors from every square inch of dead and living matter: patches of leaf litter, the mossy crooks and crannies of boulders, dead tree stumps, and nearly everything else fixed in place. And underlying all these magical fruiting bodies is an extraordinary network of filaments (”hyphae”) that binds all life in the forest, metabolizing proteins into soluble nitrates essential to plant life and even sending signals to divert resources to plants in distress: the Mycelium Network . Indeed, a forest cannot exist without fungi.
Above is just a small sampling of those extraordinary beings - not quite plant and not quite animal - that give life to our forests, photographed during a hike yesterday at Coopers Rock State Forest. Earthballs, chanterelles, corals, amanitas, boletes, and so on. Collectively, nature’s version of the world-wide web.

Art show
This is Baltimore, Maryland specific, but I’m posting it because how many ‘Hyphae’ themed art shows have you ever heard of?

So, for all those fungus fans out there, you can read more about it at the link.

A friend of mine told me their Dropout TV login info so I'm binging A Court of Fey and Flowers and every time anyone says "High Fey" my little mushroom brain thinks they're saying "Hyphae"
