Network Theory is a core division of electrical engineering which goes back to the end of the 19th century, to the time of Oliver Heaviside. This is 40 years before the concepts of electronic computing were first proposed.

Paul Stamets “proposes that that organized networks of mycelia under our feet form the earth’s own ‘internet’ of sorts carrying antibiotics and enzymes as well as huge numbers of signaling chemicals across trillions and trillions of end branchings.”

Fungi are not the only things that do this – aspen trees also have “clonal colonies.” See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(Quaking_Aspen) for a description of a single organism that covers 107 acres!

Everything mentioned here seems to rely on biochemistry, rather than on any higher-level arrangements. So can someone explain why we need network theory to understand fungal bioremediation?
