I'm a vegetable grower and use the no dig method. I feed the soil and never disturb it. The fungi do the real work with the relationship between the plants I grow. So I feed the fungi and the fungi do all the fertilizing. The plants grow like they are on steroids and don't get bothered by pests half as much. If you want more info on no dig, check out Charles dowding.

This spring I experimented with hugelkultur. Instead of yard clippings I used forest floor litter and some kitchen waste that just began to grew fungi. The end result this fall was the most bountiful tomato harvest I’ve ever had since I started gardening 6 years ago, even more bountiful compared with compost alone or fertilizer alone.

[@Retrofire-47]

Even more amazing that we associate "mold" as something wholly detrimental in agriculture... "Mold" is literally mother nature, the dynamo that fuels the natural world. Literally all established knowledge of biology is based upon a false premise. How humbling that is... Now you must ask: what implications that have on our food supply? Much of our food is now being grown either isolated from the fungus [commercial agriculture] or completely devoid of it [aquaponics]. i bet this has implications on our health as a society, that we cannot even begin to comprehend.

Are there any reports or papers on fungal network computing? I imagine a specially designed, perhaps 3d printed soil cube saturated with nutrients and microrhizae with standardised computer outputs and inputs. I know it wouldn't match the kind of computing power as traditional computers but it could make for an interesting replacement that may be more radiation resistant or perhaps even provide an organically fuelled artificial intelligence? Anyway, wild sci fi speculation aside, if anyone has any papers or reports of this stuff then I'm happy to receive your replies. Thanks

It’s as if the fungi are the elders setting the example of how we should treat our resources of nutrients. It’s a give and take relationship.

You think YOU crave alcohol or sweets, or something salty or maybe sour, nope sorry, it is not you really, but the network of fungus mycelium within you. One could call them aliens controlling what we humans think is a symbiotic relationship, when in reality, they are in control. Doubt my words, then DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
