Fungi build the largest and fastest transportation systems on earth. Here nuclei containing DNA move through a mycelial network. The nuclei move much faster than microtubule motors allow other cellular cargo to travel. How and why the nuclei move faster is still a mystery.

Great nuclear dynamics video. If you are interested check out here what unrelated oomycetes are doing

I wonder what would happen if more resources were directed at studying natures technology? Seems like a continuously missed opportunity.

It’s bioelectric - that’s how.

Paul Stamets mentions that by observing fungi pathways, we can more efficiently design beltways and freeways in the future @PaulStamets

How does the structure of the fungi network reach its equilibrium, and how do the laws of physics give rise to such amazing phenomena? This is fascinating!

Let’s introduce artificially modified living organisms into the soil just to see what happens, said no one ever who was not a shareholder.

Amazing
