The amazing world of fungi – in pictures

@futurebird @appassionato Of course, this is way below anything that could get us. I'm just surprised stories don't run with the idea more. It has a certain sort of creep factor.
Really I think more could be done with whole fungal takeover things more in general story-wise. The Expanse did a good job with the sort of thing I'm talking about.
Like doesn't it trigger a certain something in anyone else? (Though for me the result is closer to fascination than fear, lol.)
@nazokiyoubinbou @appassionato
Not like parasitoid wasps do. They take advantage of similar aspects of the insect body plan and it's somehow worse than the fungi.
It might be nice to sprout something memorable and ominous after I die. A big lovely toadstool with unusual colors and magnificent shapes.
But do keep your distance.
