In the deep black forest, this mushroom (Coprinus comatus, shaggy ink cap, geschubde inktzwam) shows its fortitude in a pristine and unique colour palette. It is one of the icons of the immense trade system underground between trees and fungi, where sugars and minerals are negotiated and exchanged. This mushroom is a metaphor for exchange as at the market index.

This young fly agaric (Amanita muscaria, L.) shines on the forest floor with its beautiful colours. It quietly tells the story of the deal it made with the trees above him. Trade it is. Receive sugars, give minerals. It knows that without this deal, the trees should be as big as the agaric itself. Do we enter the domain of politics here?
