387 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,909 known as the wood wide web. 388 00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:53,955 Fungi, form a matrix of hair-like threads... 389 00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:58,631 detach sugars from tree roots... 390 00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:03,678 and in return... 391 00:37:04,513 --> 00:37:08,183 they provide the tree with minerals, they siphon from the soil. 392 00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:17,781 And this
