Mushrooms do communicate. <br /> <br /> Stamets believes that the way mushrooms communicate with each other reveals them as a kind of Gaian Internet, and says that our current computer technology mimics their biological model of network integration. <br /> <br /> Stamets also compares human brain to the mycelial networks - the human neural network is practically the same as the mycelial one. <br /> <br /> ∆ http://spacecollective.org/Beatrix/6841/Mushrooms-will-save-the-world http://spacecollective.org/Beatrix/6841/Mushrooms-will-save-the-world http://spacecollective.org/Beatrix/6841/Mushrooms-will-save-the-world Mon, 02 May 2011 09:36:45 +0000 Beatrix 6841 <a href="http://spacecollective.org/nagash">nagash</a> wrote:<br /><br />that's one of my favs TED talks ever!<br /> <br /> anyone interested in Stamets work should read this book<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mycelium-Running-Mushrooms-Help-World/dp/1580085792" target="blank">http://www.amazon.com/Mycelium-Running-Mushrooms-Help-World/dp/1580085792</a><br> <br /> It really changes your perspective in an array of subjects http://spacecollective.org/Beatrix/6841/Mushrooms-will-save-the-world
