Abstract
My piece focuses on the relationship between ectomycorrhizal fungi and different plants and trees around them. I made my canvas from old leaves and newspaper and used acrylic paints to depict a pine seedling and its roots from underneath the ground being wrapped by the hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Since this the hyphae of ectomycorrhizae wrap around the roots beneath the soil, this isn't a process we are able to see when we spot little trees growing around us. There is so much going on beneath our feet that benefits the environment we live in, so it is important to be aware and be able to see the magic of the world wide web right underneath us.
