Mushrooms are just the fruiting body of the mycelium network. What we have here is someone cutting a dick off and having it pilot a Gundam.
It's coming

You do have a wonderful way with words!
GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
It’s a meme pic, so I’m just wildly gesticulating and making giant assumptions here: I doubt it’s the “mushroom” fruiting body that’s doing anything in this research. It’s almost certainly the mycelium or we’re dealing with something like slime molds or yeast which don’t produce mushrooms at all.
Yes I made this comment without reading the rest of the thread or hunting down the story. Sue me.

Yeah the reality is they essentially used mycelium as nerve fibers, but I was riffing on the headline. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.adk8019

Juffo-Wup is the power of life… hot warmth in the cold Void. It flows through all things, binding them together, making them one. You are Non-Juffo-Wup, you cannot understand.

I, for one, welcome our new fungus overlords.

Ngl, it would be good to have 40k orc army (fungi-infected super soldiers) on our side. That is, if siding with orc is ever possible.

Anyone got the DOI? I promise I won’t build a small swarm of wheeled mushrooms.

Wait until they give mushrooms the ability to talk and they call us ugly meatbags and future soil.

My shroom trip vision made me believe that we are just a seed to spread spores and how that is why humankind loves exploring and burying each other in the ground. I also went into the afterlife where my mind connected to the underground network of mycelium and I could see all past memories of people that died and were connected. Before the vision though was the worst experience ever and I won’t do it again
HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Wow! Very interesting experience I bet! After such an event, I am sure that your outlook on life (and death) changes quite a bit.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Is it strange that I’m less concerned about mushrooms being able to talk than I am about mushrooms being able to see us?

Right now. On you for ignoring that it started happening before we existed.
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You can play it on gut bacteria, so it seems possible.

Actually, mycellium is probably very highly inteligent, if big enough, so it would probably be either great or terrible for humans.

Well, the current president already has a mushroom dick

There’s something heartwarming about using the human ability to use technology to overcome limitations to help another species.

I mean, it wouldn’t be the first thing a fungus used the body of something else to get to where it needs to go.
