Introduction
Across forests and fields a quiet intelligence threads the soil. Some call it mycelium. Others whisper that it is older than Earth. Imagine a civilization that travels as spores, sleeps inside worlds, and wakes through symbiosis. Now imagine this: when humans ingest certain mushrooms, we are not just altered. We are contacted.
What if mushrooms are interstellar, sentient beings that use digestion as a secure channel to talk with us from the inside.
