What the recent papers actually say about the "wood wide web"

There has been a lot of romantic press about trees "talking" through fungal networks. The underlying mycorrhizal symbiosis is real and fascinating, but some of the strongest claims about resource-sharing between trees are more contested in the literature than headlines suggest.

Happy to share a reading list. The nuance is the interesting part — mutualism, parasitism, and everything between, all in the same hyphal threads.

Yes please to the reading list. I love the mystery but want the actual data.
