Wood Wide Web: Myth or Science?

Guest: Professor Katie Field (University of Sheffield, Plant-Soil Processes)

We dive into the controversial "Wood Wide Web" with Professor Katie Field. This underground fungal network has captured the public imagination, but what does the latest scientific research really say?

Katie, who is funded by a Royal Society Fellowship, takes us on a journey through the theory's origin, its immense popularity, and the nuances that show it's not exactly the interconnected 'social network' we might think.
