Why Trees Talk to Each Other Underground 🌲 #shorts

The forest beneath your feet is alive with conversation. Trees send each other chemical messages through a massive underground fungus network called mycelium — scientists have nicknamed it the "Wood Wide Web."

Mother trees feed their young through the soil. Sick trees receive nutrients from healthy neighbors. When insects attack, trees release warning chemicals that travel through the network, and surrounding trees boost their defenses before the bugs even arrive.

It's the largest living internet on Earth — and it's been running for 400 million years.
