The idea that the roots of neighboring trees can be connected by fungal filaments, forming massive underground networks that can span entire forests, similar to internet architecture.
When people speak of the wood-wide web, they are generally referring to the resulting system of interconnected tree roots called a common mycorrhizal network, or CMN. But there’s very little that scientists can say with certainty about how, and to what extent, trees interact via CMNs.
The idea of the wood wide web has inspired many narratives in books, TV, and other media, despite little or no experimental evidence to back up their claims.

The survival horror video game series The Last of Us uses the idea of a wood wide web to drive its narrative by featuring zombies that are controlled by a fungi host. It’s a compelling story, but many mycologists and scientists no longer believe in the scientific claims about fungal networks that inspired its zombie apocalypse.

Get the deep web mug.Deep web, also known as the dank web, dark web, and shadow web, isn't all that deep. All it is is a series of private servers, and blank pages google forgot to use. It's not hard to get to at all either. All you need is TOR (The Onion Router) or i2p. Theres many different types of software to access it. TOR isn't all the dark either. Theres some pretty funny stuff there and things you can buy range from pretzels to guns and illegal videos and movies. Although people say you might run into redrooms (basically livesteams of murders) it isn't actually common. If you were to run into it, you would have to be constantly searching for it. Besides, there aren't really much on TOR since the max quality would probably be around 240p or 360p very compressed since TOR is so slow. Most of them make you pay loads of money, and download custom browsers to watch (don't download anything off of the deep web unless running linux, or a virtual maching is recomended)

Get the deep web mug.Dark web is the portion of the deep web that requires special software such as TOR to navigate. Commonly, confused people refer to the "deep web" as the" dark web", but the deep web is just the information on the internet which normal search engines can't find, such as pages within sites without links to click on.
The dark web is a good place to download some illegal crap and then get caught because you didn't do it right
