I - In the inky darkness of a termite mound, I found at its core the symbiotic fungus garden. In the first days of the mound, a primordial comb was insulated with spores brought in by the termites. The fungi then started to convert the dead and decaying plant material ingested by the termites into easily digestible complex sugars that they could feed on. I saw, the fungi fruit emerging from the ground, in the wind starting to dance, and spreading millions of basidiospores into the environment.
