       @datarama @futurebird This is fascinating. So they are in an exclusive symbiosis? In human crops, new cultivars have to be continuously developed to sustain viability and nutrition, while heirloom varieties do not have this vulnerability. Has this fungus evolved in result to its cultivation?

       @futurebird @datarama So these particular ants could not live without their fungi? The fungi has been subjected to selection, but have the ants?

       @futurebird This is the most entertaining thread I've read this morning. But I do have a question. In the attached photo is a reference to "fungus-growing ants." I wonder if any of those particular species affect mycorrhizal networks either positively or negatively?

       @futurebird Hyphae are "branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus." So a fuzzy little nest. It does sound nice!

       @datarama @futurebird @u0421793 That would be the conversion of food security to power. And now we're back to warring over resources like attines.

       @futurebird @datarama The link you posted to ResearchGate has led me to "niche construction theory." Reading on!https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282628837_The_role_of_food_storage_in_human_niche_construction_An_example_from_Neolithic_Europe#pf3
