Ugch, fine, you can use me to feed a patch of mushrooms that's beginning to grow in the now-warming areas of the planet, ultimately to become a giant organism/network that covers Antarctica in white mycelium/mushrooms/spores to replace the albedo effect of snow/ice to save the future of all life on Earth.
But I'll need a ride there.
ASL?
Antarctic Substrate Location? I was thinking on a hill surrounded by antarctic pearlwort in bloom.
If you mean ADSL, yeah that's what I have. Just 6Mbps (7-8 if I'm lucky).
The other thing? Not sure how it's relevant, but
A: 3 comments (and days) ago, I referenced the Armored Core demo on a specific PS1 demo disc. And I with health issues, you may as well consider me even older than I actually am.
S: No. (G: ideally, a brain-in-a-jar hooked up to a computer or something like this)
L: Pretty fucking far from OK Antarctica. I'm in the-edge-of-nowhere in northern trickledown-land.
Wouldn’t fungi all die out if it weren’t for plants and bacteria? They’re parasitic and feed on dead things no?
plants and bacteria would struggle without animals and fungi as well, everything depends on like literally the entire earth’s ecosystems to survive to some degree.
like fungi recycle dead things into an absurd amount of nutrients, without them trees especially would barely break down and just stick around until very very eventually they turn into coal.

this is just such a cool thing to think about, there was a time when there were just dead trees everywhere in forests, like just laying there being logs or whatever, just piles and piles of dead trees and that’s where coal comes from.
The people mining and dying and polluting the planet just digging out piles of dead trees.
Just like what? I get it, but what?
Yes they would struggle, but eventually they would adapt.
If everything but plants disappeared tomorrow, many plants would die but some would survive and adapt.
If everything but fungi disappeared tomorrow, they would all die out.
Same with animals.
Bacteria would survive like plants would, with most of them dying but many surviving and adapting.
Cyanobacteria would be perfectly alright.
That’s all of life…
Not plants and bacteria, many of them can survive off sunlight and minerals broken down from stones, such as lichen. Although I guess lichen is a combination of plants, bacteria and fungi
I’m afraid I only eat alive food it’s important for my internal vibration and helps me meditate more intensively to find my true self.
Some are parasitic, most are saprophytic (decomposers/recyclers), others are symbiotic and exchange nutrients with trees
Don’t feel bad, fungi. Lots of people informally lump you in with plants. It’s not personal.
This title makes me more angry the longer I look at it.
I’m that guy growing magic mushrooms and telling people about how awesome fungi are in general now that I know more about them
I’m doing my part!
Teach me your nonspecific ways to grow nonspecific fungi
So you can buy the spores online and have them legally shipped to your door basically anywhere in the US from a site sharing it’s name with the garden humans first lived in before Eve ate the apple
Once you’ve got those they grow in a shotgun fruiting chamber, a type of fungus growing that is used for many kinds of mushrooms and is completely normal to talk about.
You take some vermiculite, brown rice flour, and some jars, sterilize the dirt (boil it), put it in jars, and squirt some spores into the jars
Leave them in a drawer to become a full cake, then into the fruiting chamber. Spritz with water 3x daily and in a month you’ve got more mushrooms than you can cook with
My first harvest was a little over an oz of dried good ESS for an investment initially of about $150, and I can do it again at least 2 more times with current supplies
Call up “Uncle Ben”
Oh dont worry fungi get their fair share of appreciation from psychedelic enthusiasts
explain how
It’s a theory.
cbc.ca/…/fungi-are-responsible-for-life-on-land-a…
In reality, life on earth is more like an engine borne of physics. Fungi is just another cog, a major one, but just a part of a greater whole.
Interesting thing about fungi spores, they can survive in space. So maybe the aliens been here all the time already…
Well… Is Fungi a cute widdle baby meow meow boo that i want to hug? Didnt think so. Fuck you Fungi.
You’re not very fungi
We will remember this when our mycelial network grows through your body
Don’t cry for them. They’re happy to do it. They’re fungis.
For manga/fungi lovers
What if humans are being subconsciously changed by fungus, giving us instructions that will provide fungus places to develop
Some of them very do that lol
Wrong. :(
Name checks out
In this case I’m not confused. Fungi isn’t foundational the way this meme implies. Monera and protista existed before fungi and would go on even if all fungi were to vanish. In fact were monera and plantae to vanish nearly all fungi would parish. It’s pretty simple to tell which kingdom is more foundational. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Once I die, fungi will have the last word.
