Among the Fungus

Tapping into the network's mycelial synapses, we issued a short current; every mushroom cap stiffened suddenly, obviously bewildered by a new actor on their internal network. We received a frenzy of signals in response, but eventually we managed to decipher the fungus' transmission. The organism is a hive mind that views itself as the custodian of the planet's native species. Beneath the surface, all manner of flora and fauna are preserved and protected by the mycelial clusters. In exchange, the fungus consumes their waste as sustenance. However, a threat exists to this symbiotic relationship, and to the continued survival of the fungus itself.
