Trees, sentence 14
Many tree roots are joined to fungi, a link sometimes called the «wood wide web»; the mushrooms are only the fruit of a much bigger fungus underground, and wild mushrooms must never be picked or eaten as some are deadly.

This is a sentence of the lesson «Trees» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (link, mushrooms, some), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
