That's the theme music from the iPad app, Mini Metro - guaranteed to give you some sort of hernia when two trains get full of triangles...

Fascinating subject though, I thought it was rather like the fungal action (Mycelium) in the ground where toadstools talk to each other!

"Intraspecies fusion".

Isn't that what Alex Salmond was accused of this year?

Scrobs - yes fungi are interesting. I try to identify them when we are out walking, especially this time of year.

Sam - good point and maybe that is even more sinister than we know because so many seem to be at it.
