    Research suggests mushrooms talk to each other with a vocabulary of about 50 words.

    You might have stepped and (mentally) tripped on some, but you would’ve never considered that mushrooms could be terribly talkative in the forest. Now, a new study suggests that fungi in general are always communicating with each other. In fact, they have even been recorded having conversations in a language similar to human speech.

    But before we regret all our shroom hunting trips, let’s analyse how individual fungi, even after being separated from each other, are capable of interactions in the first place. Well, their secret to communication lies in electrical impulses—which are conducted by fungi through long, underground filamentous structures called hyphae, similar to how nerve cells transmit information in us humans. Call hyphae the internet of the woods, if you may.In fact, previous research has shown that the firing rate of these impulses increase when the hyphae of wood-digesting fungi come into contact with wooden blocks. This has raised questions if fungi use this electrical language to share information about food and warn parts of themselves—or other hyphae-connected partners like trees—about potential threats. But does this communication pattern have anything in common with human speech?

    Well, that explains the screaming I hear under the skillet lid. Here all along I thought I was hearing things.
    I've heard of this along with broccoli has a higher intelligence. I met an artist years ago that told me she wouldn't eat broccoli because of that.
    I'll take mine with some French cheese, please.

    I one time carried on a conversation with mushrooms I found in my pasture for hours. They showed me a lot that I did not know.

    That's a classic! Who hasn't sang that, while chopping broccoli in their kitchen?

    Next time you purchase white button mushrooms at the grocery store, just remember, they may be cute and bite-size but they have a relative out west that occupies some 2,384 acres (965 hectares) of soil in Oregon's Blue Mountains. Put another way, this humongous fungus would encompass 1,665 football fields, or nearly four square miles (10 square kilometers) of turf.
    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/

    I once spent a week learning all I could about fungi. Not only do they speak with one another, they create the wood wide web under our soil allowing the plants to speak and conduct sophisticated commerce.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
