Plants communicate through mycorrhizal network

Interesting article by BBC News:
Plants can communicate the onset of an attack from aphids by making use of an underground network of fungi, researchers have found.
Instances of plant communication through the air have been documented, in which chemicals emitted by a damaged plant can be picked up by a neighbour.

Thanks for the link, sent it to a friend/colleague of mine in a mycorrhizal fungi workgroup =3.

They did some amazing studies on this in europe where they build a screen enclosure around a single tree, then put in herbivorous insects. In response, the enclosed tree began producing anti herbivory compounds. This was expected. What wasnt expected was that, within 24 hours, so did the trees OUTSIDE the enclosure that were not being herbivorized. somehow, that one tree "told" the others: "hey, fellas, i am getting eaten over here". The plant physiologists could only figure that the tree communicated this message via the hyphal "phone lines" that connected the herbivorized tree to the adjacent ones. now THAT is some shit!!

I often wonder what the big oak just off my deck is telling the others about me every night when I'm taking a leak on it!

There was a Terrible movie about this kind of Happening, but the name of it eludes me.

heck to tell you the truth this is actually sorta cutting edge even in shamanism, I only knew about this within the last ten years or so, and the shamans here never knew about it . So Science and shamanism are starting to be head to head!

Shamanism is closer to gestaltism than any other magico religious ideology, no wonder it keeps pace with scientific discovery. Awesomesauce.

I believe it was called The Happening. Plants would spray this chemical and people would start committing suicide. Trippy movie

I think we need to research this further by growing some sort of highly communicative plant into one of your brains.

Nature's internet! Glad I just saw this thread... interesting stuff!
There has also been recent scientific papers involving research about different kinds of fungi and how certain veggies and plants communicate with eachother via chemistry through the Mycorrhizal fungi.
I also wonder... remember how all of the American chestnuts got taken out by blight? I read somewhere about out how "trees communicate" through webs of mycelium... and that they release chemicals to protect them when a neighboring tree is in distress. The chestnuts weren't apparently able to do this very effectively because they got attacked so fast...
maybe the chestnut blight "hacked" their network 
Super cool stuff. Thanks for sharing! (a month ago.. sry about continuing to revive an old thread )
cheers from SWFL
