🍄 Inspiration behind The Great Greenwood

Did you know that the Root Keepers of The Great Greenwood story are inspired by something that really exists?

Beneath every forest lies an extraordinary underground network called the Wood Wide Web. Tiny threads of fungi, known as mycelium, connect the roots of trees and plants, helping forests share nutrients, water and important messages.

Scientists have discovered that forests are not simply collections of individual trees. They are living communities, connected in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Watch the film "How trees secretly talk to each other - BBC World Service" and "Hidden Language of Trees: How Forests Secretly Communicate | Full Documentary" and discover the real-life science that inspired The Great Greenwood and the magical world of the Root Keepers.

🌳🍄✨

Everything is connected.

🍄 Gobo says: "Sometimes the most magical stories begin with something that is already true."
