This essay explores some of the arboreal imaginings that inform analogies between mycorrhizal and technical, or arboreal and human, infrastructural networks. Rather than embrace or dismiss the idea of a wood wide web, I interrogate this intriguing comparison with the help of a variety of natural and human scientists. In so doing I explore how technical, human, arboreal, and mycorrhizal infrastructures are linked by their participation in processes of radical tree mediation.
