## Project history and usage

Mycorrhiza Wiki is a lightweight, free and open-source wiki engine for the independent web, developed by Bouncepaw with contributors. The project describes itself as a filesystem and Git-based wiki written in Go, using its own Mycomarkup language as the primary markup format.

### Project history

The name comes from the biological idea of mycorrhiza: a symbiotic connection between fungus and plant. A project essay says Bouncepaw chose the metaphor in summer 2020 after noticing similarities between fungal structures and wikis: hyphae map to pages or files, and mycelia map to whole wikis. During release/1.2 development the name changed from MycorrhizaWiki to Mycorrhiza Wiki because CamelCase made little sense for Mycomarkup's case-insensitive link and hypha names.

### How it is used

Technically, Mycorrhiza's main milestones are its content model and storage choices. It stores content as plain files rather than in a database, records change history in Git, treats every content unit as a hypha, supports transclusion, nesting, categories, feeds for recent changes, authorization, Open Graph metadata, interwiki links, and keyboard-driven navigation. In practice it targets personal wikis, digital gardens, commonplace books, and small community wikis, and its own site runs on the engine. Packaging in Homebrew, Alpine, and Nix puts it in the self-hosted wiki niche rather than the large enterprise wiki category.
