Pilze – die heimlichen Herrscher des Waldes
Stolberg
Moist, quiet, and mysterious – this is how the forest works underground. Between moss, leaves, and tree roots, a fine network permeates the soil. The mycelium of fungi weaves through the earth like a delicate fabric, connecting plants to each other and thereby keeping the forest's nutrient cycle going. What we see – fly agarics, porcini, or sulfur polypores – is only the fruit of this underground system.
And not just for this reason are fungi valuable to the forest. They decompose dead wood, unlock nutrients, and often live in symbiosis with the trees. Through their roots, they exchange water, minerals, and sugars – this makes the forests stable and resilient.
Tip: Take a closer look at the ground. You might recognize fine white threads around the mushrooms – the hidden network of the forest.
