How to model fractal branching?

I couldn't quite understand what you were saying. What was that example from nature at the end? Some kind of fungus?

[@DoggoChurgoburgo]

If I understand correctly it's the rhyzosphere of plants roots which contain large networks of fungus. Great topic to read up on.

Sorry for not having this stated more clearly: there are many examples, where plants have symbioses with fungi. Best-known many forest trees are associated with certain fungi. In general fungi are colonizing the roots of the plants and are exchanging nutrients (plant carbohydrates versus fungal mineral nutrients). In the case of the forest trees you can see the interaction, since there are macroscopic fruit bodies appearing specifically under specific trees. Most other plants form similar interactions without visible fungal fruit bodies and the most widespread typ is called arbuscular mycorrhiza. A small, ancient group of fungi is responsible for this interaction (Glomus sp.) and the typical morphological feature are these small trees inside the roots.
