Through their connections to the rock, soil, air, water, plants, animals, and humans, fungi hold our ecosystems together. They carry medicinal compounds that can be isolated and studied by scientists, and they carry something less available to scientific study—something ineffable known by many Indigenous peoples. Fungi carry a vibration of connection, a way of being in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insightful and practical guide for the lay reader explores the deep, interwoven web of the mycelial network from the perspective of whole human health.
