Hats off to your lady-friends
Opening the post and seeing only the image and your comment just sent me, thanks for the laugh!
Ah I see. These mushrooms have [hbomberguy] extruded [/hbomberguy].

Do NOT fondle the wall of dongs.
… at least not without first asking the fungal gestalt consciousness for consent first.
gestalt
“gestalt”. when you want to sound exotic even though you could have just said “shape” or “form”
edit: “system” or “organism” or “entity” could have worked as well

I just hope they don’t start squirting.

Please let them all release their spores.
Well… I don’t know about the rest of you guys but I’ve just uncovered a new fantasy
😵💫 🫠
I think I need more details on this one.
I still don’t exactly understand what the fuck mushrooms are.
Relevant XKCD:
mushrooms are just eucaryotic species that never bothered to develop legs or brains (and also no photosynthesis) . if they want to go somewhere, they either grow a thin wire to get there or throw a million spores into the air and hope that one lands where it should be going to.

Does anyone?
Fun fact, it’s very likely that without mushrooms land animals wouldn’t exist. More controversially it’s possible that without mushrooms no creatures with higher order thinking like human variants could exist.
(citation needed)
Sure thing, my undereducated comrade.
Fungi (or protofungi) were likely the first large multi-cellular life on land, predating plants by at least a half billion years and creating the soil conditions necessary for plants to make the jump from the ocean. In fact plant life without fungal symbiosis on land likely would have been impossible.
As to the second part, while it’s controversial in some circles that lean heavily toward divine creation or intervention, the Stoned Ape Theory is nonetheless pretty well supported. As for my exact wording; I’m also including dolphins, which do recreational drugs anyway, and suggesting outside popular theories there’s a sea fungus they’ve keyed in on in the past, as well as octopi who like to get high, even crows like a little chemical help now and again. While we don’t have direct evidence of non-ape species being particularly into eating fungus for its mind altering effects, the fact that pretty much every ‘intelligent’ species seems to enjoy recreational mind-altering drugs does point to a common origin for intelligence itself.
xD but for the fungus to activate these parts of the brain that form language etc, these parts would have to be there in the first place. it doesn’t make much sense to develop a brain and then depend on external substances to activate them. also it would be a huge disadvantage to not just always enable them, which nature surely could have done, and probably did.
Motherfucker you got your answer. Stop arguing with scientists.
i’m not sure whether you’re serious. science is a process. it’s meant to continuously question everything.
Lmao yeah, science is a process. One that your inane ramblings have fuck all to do with.
You’re a contrarian weirdo who asked for information, got it, then argued. Because it’s ostensibly all you have to offer.
Edit: Oops I missed the instance, typical feddit horseshit.
Stop taking Science as a religion. Questioning theories is the foundation of science. If there is an answer, somebody will be happy to provide it. If there is none then we have to look more closely.
Science is made by those, like myself, who have studied topics in depth and worked in academia.
Science is not some jackass Lemmy user’s thoughts and feelings
Shut the fuck up, feddit user.
That just makes you wanna give shrooms to animals to see if any develop higher intelligence
Why?
stoned ape theory mentioned
Understandable, they’re neither animals nor plants, and at least to me, that’s really weird. Pretty much everything large enough to see fits into those categories, and it just feels like fungi should be plants as well.
I just googled a bit about this topic and learned algae is also not a plant. But it’s green!
I guess you also count minerals as plants?
Depends. Is it green?
Copper is now a plant.
The ancient shamans of metal approve of this message.
Swear to god, your name and avatar is apparently a sound i can hear.
Started playing in my head when I saw you pop up.
… … I’m gonna blame the mushrooms.
Honestly I would’ve thought the track Metal Monks (BoS theme) would fit better what with my profile picture being Pelinal Whitestrake a literal crusader and cyborg a metal monk if you will.
God dam ea-nasir and his oxidized copper
I was just considering living things here, but fair point
You should check out kelp next. It’s not a plant either.
Isn’t that a type of algae?
I dont know what kind of mushrooms those are but I know they can punch REALLY hard

This is actually kind of interesting to me because I hadn’t ever considered they would be grown vertically like that as opposed to racks stacked on top of each other.
