Started reading: Schlanger, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth. Might be eye-opening, might be a bunch of woo-woo. I’ll let you know what I think.
@JohnBrady Sounds cool. I’m reading Sheldrake’s Entangled Life at the moment & finding it excellent. (Though definitely also woo-woo at points.)
@mjkaul I liked a lot of Sheldrake. I'd read a couple of books on how trees "use" fungi for various purposes, so I enjoyed his exposing this as a tree-centered (dendrocentric? arborocentric??) view: we could as easily say the fungi were using the trees. Fungi seem cooler and weirder the more I learn about them.
