Strophe
I
O mycorrhiza, natures inter net.
This inter net does keep all plants alive .
It beats out what our race has thought as yet.
The natural world around it does thrive.
II
Trees struck by lightning ,finished by decay.
The  Net enacts signs to the  biosphere
Mycorrhiza knows and does save the day.
The Net does save the ecosphere is that clear ?

III
This food does helps a lot  of damaged trees.
Trees kept alive as long as they can stand.
The Net restores a lot of trees with ease
Mycorrhiza the way to heal the land.

IV
‘shrooms good  to eat I relay at  the least
The Lions mane ,Reishi are good  for health
Find Boletes and Chanterels -what a feast! ,
And the Turkey-tail shroom, Wow !you own wealth

Antestrophe
I
Fire burns deadwood at the place  it does fall
They free up space ; release fresh food they do.
Black Morels grow in burnt out soil ,I recall
Remember the sun and rain they help too.

II
Eat meat and fowls and fish all good for you
Drink  V8 it will keep you so healthy  
Eat  fruit and veggies all good for you too
Deduce the rede above you are wealthy .

III
And many mushrooms are poisonous too,
The Fly Agaric white spotted red cap ‘shroom ,
The Sickener ,red cap-white stripe bad for you,
Fly Agaric most likely brings your  doom.

IV
The Deathcap mushroom surely is deadly,
There are many others that aren’t reckoned,
Eating a deadly one  kills you quickly,
Unknown shroom located, it should be questioned.

Epode

The fifth kingdom is  surely wondrous,
We know a little measure about fungus,
In school it’s in microbiology ,
We know more  on standard biology.
II
There’s a field called Radical Mycology ,
Peter McCoy created this hip field,
Earth’s  Net as model of ecology,
If you practise carefully you should get healed. .

III
When picking strange mushrooms carry a  guide ,
If you eat them your ride might be a hurst,
If they are edible  wash them ,try them fried ,
Do not heed  my advice|things might be worst .

IV
And Natures ' Net  does hold plants together
It feeds them all  in good or bad weather  ,
And eating healthy food keeps one stout ,
And Natures. ways certainly deep I shout !
