Unless it’s been surpassed, the world’s largest living organism is a 9 square kilometer fungus that’s been growing for about 10,000 years.
Just got surpassed by yo momma actually.
(Sorry I couldn’t resist, please no ban)
No worries friend, it’s why she was a perfect match for my dad who is a fun guy (fungi).
Gottem
I love how many times they repeated humongous fungus in the article.
Now eat your fungi penis up it’s good for you.
But sir, why are the trees dancing?
They’re telling you that life and the universe and everything is dancing the same dance
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I absolutely would if I had any right now.
I discovered The CryptoNaturalist over at the other place, and ending up buying ‘Field Guide to the Haunted Forest’ and ‘Love Notes from the Hollow Tree’ by Jarod K. Anderson…
Which is unusual for me as I detest poetry. I think it’s a pile of long-winded, navel gazing wank…Except for haiku, (because they’re short and sweet, and condense things down to their essence, which I like).
I like The CryptoNaturalist though, probably because they write about nature in a weird, beautiful and wonderous way. I want to use the word ‘magical’ to describe it, but am reluctant, for reasons
Also, thanks to this post I just found out there’s a couple of other books available which I’m going to buy tonight 😀

Tell me you’re British, without telling me you’re British . . .
We are all British on the internet. Just like our use of mate and cunt makes us Strayan ya dig bruv?
Guilty as charged
Mushrooms are so fucking cool, and they taste great too.
And they make you feel amazing too
Or dead. Choose wisely.
Uh oh
So basically… I just ate a bag of fungi dicks?
Were you hoping for fun guy dicks?
yea
People should look up Paul Stamets. Dude is doing amazing things in the field of mycology and showing the power of mushrooms!
Thought this was a Star Trek Discovery joke
Oh my gosh I’m so dumb I never even put that together. That’s so cool. He does have interesting theories but he’s also saving old growth forests well trying and he’s doing breakthrough research in the medical attributes of mushrooms.
Someone should help him with the page. At least to do a proper one (I’ve just looked the code).
Only kinda related but if anyone wants a good fantasy book with this kind of energy and theme, Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barker is the way to go
cryptonaturalist has a few books too iirc. great little account, they are on masto too.
The way so many of them look like genitals makes this so much better
This post reminded me of the cracking (though widely misunderstood and reviled) folk horror film “In the Earth”. There’s a lot going on down there in the mud and mycelium.
The biggest organism in the world is a fungus which goes miles long. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/
Ok, that’s sweet, but don’t google ‘zombie funghi’. Really, just don’t. Like, ever.
Bruh
So mushrooms are Vegan Cthulhu’s boners?
