The underground fungi needs sugar to survive. They grow around and inside the roots of the trees to absorb sugar and provide the tree with nutrients from soil. The fungi forms a network called Mycorrhizal network. According to research one tree is connected to 47 trees and this network is microscopic. The Wood Wide Web model and pictures helps us to understand how the mycorrhizal network plays a vital role in creating stronger and more resilient forest for the future.
