Over the past couple of years I have found myself increasingly drawn to the fluidity of the woods, and the abstruse fluidity of slime molds—an organism with 720 sexes.[5] To the complex relationships between lichen and moss and bacteria and spores and fungi and mycelium and trees and decaying matter and dead wood and frass. The complex life-processes and “intelligence” of these organisms expand my perception of life and help me see our wider ecologies more clearly.
