Comment on Plants looking at people looking at people looking at fungi
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 days agoIt’s not even genders, it’s a whole different type of reproduction. Sexual types.
Mushrooms do not have male and female sexes; instead, they have mating types, a system of genetic factors that determines compatibility for sexual reproduction. Unlike animals, fungi don’t possess specialized organs for sex, but can have thousands of different mating types within a single species, allowing for broad reproductive compatibility and increasing genetic diversity.
Mushrooms must look at us like we look at monocellular life.

We don’t, in and of itself, eat monocellular life, the way the fungi eat our dead. All the dead, really. Well, unless your religious enough that even they don’t want to.
