Hey, fun and fungal friend, u/compostgoblin, what did you want to share/ chat about trees, fungi, mycorhizzae, etc? Between you, me, and all then other fungiphiles on the fediverse we can have all sorts of fun and good humor in this topic.
I’ve recently been fascinated by lichen. I never knew they are a symbiosis of fungi and algae!
They are ace! Extremophiles are so interesting. One of the most prolific species on the planet and they are being considered as a potential to help terraform planets such as Mars https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334603822_The_Lichen_Symbiosis_Lichen_Extremophiles_and_Survival_on_Mars
My people! Is there a community for this?
I'm so in on this conversation.
thats cool they say it allows trees to think. i like to think it does at least, fungi are crazy
Me after reading the secret life of trees
Thats messed up if they don't.
I really mean that.
It's just such a huge part of our environment people should know about & account for it in their perspective of the the world.
Oh, nah, it’s just a meme. My wife has a biology degree and my family go hiking and camping together a bit, so cool environmental stuff gets discussed plenty
I saw a documentary some time ago and that was mentioned. It was freaking mind blowing. I love the concept. I guess we barely know anything about how it works.
Absolutely!
