The gnarled limbs of an ancient temperate rainforest are reflected in the network of mycelium below ground. Here two worlds meet, enabling the magic which drives so much of life on earth. They mirror each other visually, . while providing symbiotic support. This cycle, powered by photosynthesis, connects sunlight and water from above with a thriving metropolis of microlife below, drawing carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it is stored.
