Aww, they're besties!

IIRC, (IANAS) fungi are essential to a grassland becoming forested, as they are able to process xylum (dendritic, woody plant fiber) and the bacteria that fill that role in grasslands cannot. Beyond that, they're known to chemically communicate with their tree neighbors through the soil. 🤩🥰🤘🏼
