標題：The Underground Internet of Fungal Networks（真菌網絡的地下互聯網） Deep in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, scientists have discovered a hidden network of fungal threads that acts like a natural internet. The honey mushroom fungus (Armillaria ostoyae) forms an underground mycelial network spanning 9.6 square kilometers—larger than 1,350 football fields. This network allows trees to communicate and share resources. 在俄勒岡州藍山的深處，科學家們發現了一個隱藏的真菌菌絲網絡，它的作用就像一個天然的互聯網。蜜環菌（Armillaria ostoyae）形成了一個地下菌絲網絡，跨度達 9.6 平方公里 —— 比 1350 個足球場還要大。這個網絡能讓樹木進行交流並共享資源。 Using electrodes, researchers detected faint electrical signals traveling through the mycelium. When a pine tree is attacked by beetles, it sends chemical warnings through the network. Neighboring trees receive these signals and produce defensive resins to repel the pests. In a groundbreaking experiment, MIT Media Lab successfully transmit...
