Kukie realizes that entire forests are single communities connected to each other through the mycelial network. He understands that the mother trees support their offspring by sharing nutrients through the subterranean mycelial network that they are plugged on to. The trees speak to each other and share information through this network.
Kukie realizes that every forest has an ancestral collective wisdom passed on from generation to generation through millennia. He becomes aware of this collective spirit of the forest. He realizes that Mother trees are information banks in which this wisdom is stored in and propagated through. The wise elders.
