Bacteria be like: 🦠🦠🦠
True.
That’s so accurate.
Beat me to it!
This meme so old already evolved to consume micro plastics.
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 fromOKAntarctica. I’m in the-edge-of-nowhere in northern trickledown-land.You are a natural memer, I’m proud to have read this exchange.
You sound sexy. Let’s go for a test drive.
Just 6Mbps
I’m sorry…
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?
broke: digging up dead trees
woke: growing new trees
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
Sure.
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.
Can I just say thanks for using the meme template right
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 goodness 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
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
Not with that attitude
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.
explain how
It’s a theory.
https://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/fungi-are-responsible-for-life-on-land-as-we-know-it
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 have already been here for ages…
I always found this fact fascinating. It’s completely possible that fungi came here from somewhere else in the universe. It’s especially weird, the way psilocybin seems to communicate with us in a way when ingested. Psilocybin converts to psilocin in our stomachs, and psilocin is extremely close in structure to DMT. Fungus is likely to have come from another place, yet it seems to interact with us in such a natural way.
We have evidence of humans using psilocybin mushrooms dating back to before civilization existed. I wonder in what way they affected our progress and growth as a species.
Do you know Terrence McKenna? He has the idea, that primates ate psilocybin-rich shrooms which enhanced their evolution. I can totally understand his thinking. One good shroom or LSD trip and you can achieve thougts which would come up years later or never. This stuff helped me a lot with dealing with depression and generelly getting to know my subconcious better :)
honestly it’s kinda starting to seem like human history was 50% shaped by wanting to get zooted out our minds with the lads, and 50% wanting to turn the child-eating monsters in the woods into thin red paste and decorate our homes with their bones.
there’s a hypothesis that agriculture was straight up invented because we wanted more grain to make beer.
Getting high is part of all mammals. Elephants removing roofs of clay huts to steal and drink booze in India. Dolhpins biting on Starfishes to get high on their venom. Reindeers eating Amanita Muscaria mushrooms to get a GABAergic blast.
It’s all about those sweet neurotransmitters. Our whole body is made to use any kind of pleasure (external like food, drugs or internal like sport, sex or just getting your shit done) to be able to move on. Without pleasure, mammals wouldn’t repeat anything. Why would they? Nothing would be fun at all.
So yeah, I believe you, that more crops were sown just to be able to brew more beer. I would do that too, even though I don’t really enjoy ethanol. But friends and family do. When they’re happy, I’m happy too :)
For manga/fungi lovers - feels appropriate given the meme.
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
its plankton
YOU BETCHA!
Once I die, fungi will have the last word.
