This meme so old already evolved to consume micro plastics.

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.

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.

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.

This title makes me more angry the longer I look at it.

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"

Interesting thing about fungi spores, they can survive in space. So maybe the aliens have already been here for ages...

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)/¯
