Entangled Life takes readers into the often unseen realm of fungi, showing how these organisms form intricate networks that interconnect plants, animals, and environments across billions of years. Sheldrake examines how mycelium and spores communicate, manipulate behavior, and cooperate to solve problems without a brain, reshaping our assumptions about evolution, intelligence, and individual life.

📘 The hidden life of trees

by Peter Wohlleben

Are trees social beings? Forester and author Peter Wohlleben makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
