Habits

A plant that cooks its own stink—and then collapses after one night’s work.

It’s not about what they eat — it’s about what they build, break or bury.

The tallest living thing on Earth is also the most stubbornly local: it will not grow anywhere but coastal fog forest.

They are not one thing, not one lineage, and not even one kind of organism—yet they build fruiting bodies and decompose wood like nothing else.
