Mycelium Parmeet et le Super-Héros Caché Sous Nos Pieds

Mycelium Parmeet and the Hidden Superhero Beneath Our Feet

​​

In a vibrant forest filled with tall trees and singing birds, a secret superhero named Mycelium lives beneath the surface. While everyone enjoys the beauty above, the Mycelium quietly weaves a magical web of life underground.

​

One sunny day, Parmeet, a curious girl, ventures into the forest, eager to uncover the mysteries hidden just beneath her feet. Suddenly, a gentle voice calls out to her: “Hello, Parmeet! I am Reishi Mycelium, the hidden superhero of this forest!”

​

Reishi explained that mycelium is the root system of fungi, made up of tiny threads called hyphae. “I break down dead plants and recycle nutrients, helping new plants grow strong and healthy!”

“But how do you help the trees?” asked Parmeet. “I create special friendships,” replied Reishi. “I wrap around the roots of trees and connect them in a magical ‘Wood Wide Web.’ It’s a win-win!”

 

Parmeet learned that mycelium:

• Recycles nutrients.

• Helps the soil retain water.

• Allows trees to communicate.

• Supports biodiversity.

 

Inspired, Parmeet decided to use mycelium in her art. In Cognac, she transformed sawdust and wood waste into beautiful objects. “I create with oak sawdust and wood chips!”

With Reishi, she turned waste into works of art, showcasing:

• Acoustic panels.

• Homes with natural insulation.

• Soil heroes.

• Solutions for carbon capture!
