Once i was a child (we all have been there, i guess) and read a sci-fi story that I really liked. The problem is that now i can't remember either the title or the author. I read it in an spanish edition publisehd by Forja, but that particular collection of science fiction stories seems long out of print. All i have to work with is an unclear recollection of the plot. So now that I realize that I won't be able to find this story for myself, and I think it is worth trying here to see if somebody else remembers.
The thing goes like these. A traveller hits the ground (in this planet, I believe) just after a hurricane. He goes for a walk and encounters a tree that has been badly damaged by the storm. He passes out. During the next days, he finds out that his body has changed (improved, indeed). It turns out that the tree belongs to a strange species of conscious trees which reproduce themselves fertilizing with his spores to wandering animals, who in turn will root and become trees. There is a long and very engaging description of the way the tree fights the hurrican. The rest of the story deals with the acceptation of this situation by the human.
Well, if anyone knows which story is this, I'd really appreciate the helping hand.
PS. I'm sorry if my english is a bit akward.
