the way these forest fragments look like cells

credit: moris.berger

This video depicts a natural phenomenon known as crown shyness. This occurs when the canopies of certain tree species do not touch each other, resulting in clearly defined gaps or channels between them, as seen in the video. This phenomenon is a natural occurrence in some forests and is not a product of artificial intelligence.

I don’t think that was a microdose…

I took mushrooms once and had to lay down from feeling nauseous. Looked up and saw this and just laid there for about 30 minutes completely mesmerized.

Mushrooms are the best when you just lay on the forest floor and just soak it all up.

Crown Shyness. Keeping bugs away from trees for an eternity.

"This occurs when the canopies of certain tree species do not touch each other, resulting in clearly defined gaps or channels between them, as seen in the video."

This is the opposite of the truth. This occurs precisely because the canopies are able to touch each other, particularly when the wind blows (as seen in the video).

Wiki says the competing theories are: 

"trees in windy areas suffer physical damage as they collide with each other during winds; the abrasions and collisions induce a crown shyness response."

and

"some research suggests that constant abrasion at growth nodules disrupts bud tissue such that it is unable to continue with lateral growth"

I thought this was trees and then I thought it was cells and then I read the title again and I realized it was trees.

Tree crowns use every space to catch the light. Its nothing extraordinary. When walking in the forest, we do not look up.
