Fungi have the ability to act as a connecting point for a diverse variety of species found within their environment. Through the mycorrhizal network, fungal mycelia are able to connect to roots of nearby plants, exchanging water, nutrients, and messenger chemicals. Throughout much of the world, hookah (aka argileh) lounges also act as a connecting point for people to come together, slow down, relax, and socialize.
Agaric argileh is a very curious fungal hookah oasis. Pull up a toadstool and extend some figmental mycelial filaments out and form some deeper connections with those around you. If your timing is just right, you might just discover how this particular mushroom got its Latin name.
