Can Plants and Fungi Cure «The Wounds» Using Silicone Gel?

This paper is devoted for idea that plants and mushrooms can cover defects or wounds using large silicon formations (phytolithes). Its observed huge phytolithes more than 500 mkm. The issue is not closed and needs to be comprehensively studied.
