Weird to not list the antibiotic powers of penicillin on that list.
It gets even weirder when you are allergic to it.
The only other one with a range like this is Nicolas Cage
I'm here for this
Forests have gigantic underground fungal networks that connect trees to one another, allowing them to exchange chemical signals.
Except nobody asked it if was the other way around - that the mushroom is a tree farmer keeping in touch with all its trees nurturing and transporting stuff between them
Love the joke but in reality everything has that range.
Some frogs are cool, some good to eat, some make you hallucinate, and some immediately kill you.
I believe tomatoes are also part a deadly family of plant Im too lazy to look up.
Berries, octopus, liver, everything.
Damn nature, you scary.
Nightshade family (Solanaceae):
Tomatoes (yummy)
Nightshade (some are deadly)
Datura (deliriant that causes multi day psychosis, might tank your liver)Also tobacco and chilis. Nightshades got range.
So many different plants being genetically close (ish) makes it possible to do all kinds of fun experiments with grafting. Something like tomatoes and eggplants that have nicotine (though still mostly in the leaves) or potatoes that also make habanero peppers.
I mean.. couldn't we say the same thing of "plants" or "minerals"?
Sure, but most people can see a significant difference between grass, a maple tree, a pine tree, or a rose. Sometimes the only difference between certain death and a stir fry is the type of gills or colouration on a mushroom. Mushrooms have a huge variety within a relatively niche look.
True, but they're easy enough to test. Chip off a tiny bit with your tooth. Wait 45 minutes. Good? Rinse and repeat.
Let's go deeper. Liquids are pretty crazy, am I right?
But those atoms, though
I'm surprised OP found a dot closer to the end of their speech.
It was a little mushroom.
He forgot that mushrooms (yeast) make alcohol, cakes and bread...
Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungii. Yeast is also a fungus, but it does not produce mushrooms and calling it a mushroom is not accurate.
But so is mold
I'm genuinely afraid of fungi. I think the only reason they allow us to exist is bc they can't move around and communicate with us. As such, I think it's truly foolish of scientists to provide them with the means of locomotion via my other true fear, robots
they can't move around
Ahem, athlete's foot is a fungus. And there's a nail fungus too. They're walking a mile in your shoes...
Oh, and ringworm? Fungus.
they can’t move around and communicate with us
Cordyceps were the thing that initially sparked my fear of mushrooms before Last of Us was even a thing! And I never considered shrooms the fungi communicating with us. Much to consider. Did you ever hear about the guy that shot up with psilocybin and they grew inside him and almost killed him?
Wild Mustard plant.
Or the nightshade family, which matches mushrooms when it comes to range. It contains staple foodstuffs such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, and more. It also contains deadly nightshade/belladonna and a host of toxic or psychedelic plants.
Not to mention the bits we eat/are exposed to are their reproductive organs. It's just cocks with different buffs/debuffs
Even the edible ones are tiny fungus dicks.
Mushrooms are aliens
I just blanket them all with, "mushrooms bad"
Who else has that kind of range? Mike Patton.
Sometimes they go nuclear
Because he's not really a fun guy, he just likes them.
Fungi are just forest internet and package delivery service, they were not designed for us to chomp on their exposed private delicious bits that make me soft reset my brainhole.
Gary Oldman has better range. Especially because several of those things are lies; there's nothing delicious about fungus.
