I know this is going to be a long shot but I'm hoping one of my librarian friends (looking at you @JeanneMN LOL!)or parents of school-age kids might be able to help.
I was leading a hike yesterday and was showing the group mycelium. I talked about how mushrooms can "communicate" through it. One of the guys was saying that his kids had to read a book for school, where that was part of the storyline. He couldn't remember the name of the book but gave me a rundown of the characters. I thought it would be easy enough to Google it, but I am not having any luck.
There was something about a meteor wiping out the dinosaurs. Then an acorn got lost (?) and the mushrooms felt bad, and wanted to help the acorn. The mushrooms sent messages along their mycelium to help the acorn get back home.
It seemed like the story had a great message and it was a book that the school picked for its "all and one" (One and all??) program. All of the students read one chapter a week.
I have searched for "acorn," "meteor,""dinosaurs and acorns," and "mushrooms helping a lost acorn."
Has anyone heard of this book?
PS: Tried ChatGPT to see if that could find the title. It didn't, but told me it would be a lovely, nature-oriented book and then gave me an outline to write one myself. pfft!
