So you basically bleed the organism out into the land that fed it, so that its kind can consume its lifeblood, so that lifeblood doesn't rest in the harvested wood, to feed fungi?
I mean, we chop up the bodies of trees to spread at the feet of living trees, I suppose it's no more morbid than that.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
