As far as I know there are a lot of fungi that have hundreds or even thousands of mating types, i.e. “sexes”. Fungi are weird.
Your majesty

'twas told to me that in many ways they refuse to cooperate with our system of taxonomy at large, too freaky to ever be properly pinned down

A kingdom always seeking expansion. Stop expanding into my stale bread dammit!
ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 days ago
The stale bread is fine for expansion. It’s the expansion into edible bread that annoys me.

I don’t know if fungi would be okay with the fact that we antropomorphize their reproductive organs.
Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 4 days ago
We simply respond with the fact that we anthropomorphize our own as well.
(Isn’t that right, big fella?)

I’d be more supportive of fungi independence if they aimed for a democratic republic. Just saying.

And let those filthy aspergillus or god-forbid hypomyces have a say in how we run things? I think not, long-live king Muscaria of Amanitaceae!

hypomyces
So these are parasitic mushrooms, okay. Are there any mushrooms that live as parasites on hypomyces? So basically a mushroom human centipede?
