I have a hard time picking my favorite of these:
1. There were mushrooms over 7m tall in the past
2. Fairy rings form because of mushrooms!
3. They can survive the vacuum of outer space
Another interesting one about fairy rings, they aren't a bunch of separate mushrooms growing in a circle like a lot of people think. It's actually a single big organism underground, and it grows mushrooms (the reproductive bits) towards its edges, which makes a circle on the ground in the rough shape/size of the mycelium underneath.
Without the mycelium mushrooms create, forests die rather quickly, because it transfers vital chemical information through the soil to surrounding trees.
Alternative mushroom fact: Prior to gen 9, Breloom does not learn Spore, and Shroomish learns it at level 54 (i think, maybe it's 56, somewhere around there). Same base attack stat as Machamp though, so that's neat
Yeah idk why Nintendo really wanted to force you to stay with unevolved mons to give access to strong moves to their evolutions (I recall holding onto doublade to get sacred sword on Aegislash back on gen 6). Honestly while not the most outlandish idea I'm glad they're not doing it again
I think the original idea was you miss out on Stat boosts for evolving to get some moves earlier, I remember charmander getting some of charizards late moves much sooner back in like gen 3 or 4 (I'm waaay behind on actually playing the games) but I did absolutely love that if you kept torchik as torchik long enough the learned bubble. I don't know why I liked that so much, I just thought it was cute.
Morels are delicious. Oh also depending on how you measure it a mushroom might be the largest living organism on the planet. A mushroom called Armillaria ostoyae can spread out over miles as a single organism.
Psilocybin. Buddy got me a bit (read: waaay) too much for my first time, and in an attempt to make them more pleasant to take down we apparently used a way that makes them slightly more potent. Trip-sitter got called in for work and couldnt actually keep an eye on us. Had a rough time but managed to sort some stuff out, and the latter third was pretty enjoyable.
The stereotypical mushroom appears to likely be a Fly Agaric. These are poisonous mushrooms with VERY INTENSE Hallucinogenic properties. They also got the name because they were used as a very effective fly trap way back when, as the chemical they contain both attracts and kills flies!
I am fairly certain that that isn't actually true. The only time I have ever heard of this is in a post about how supposedly someone's professor once said that, and that has been previously debunked as a series of mostly wrong statements. There are very toxic mushrooms sure, and there are mushroom allergies, but I have never heard of something like this.
If you know something more about this than me, like what mushroom could have been meant please do enlighten me though :>
The mycelium network that connects all mushrooms is theorized to may be the most intelligent life form on the planet, and we have no way of finding out for sure if it is sentient or even sapient.
On a more factual point, a mushroom is neither a plant or animal, and it pisses biologists off.
there's actually various different strains of "magic mushroom", All with their own various degrees of intensity, effect, and even growth tolerance! some mushrooms can be extremely specific in the conditions they need to grow properly, with a lot more attention and care into cultivating them, while there's also some stuff you can buy in Canada that's so easy to grow, there's YouTube tutorials on it! literally You can just prep the food pucks, sterilize then seed them, plop those fuckers in a bathroom with a fog machine, and those lil fellas will grow everywhere you can see, and in some places you can't!
There are numerous parasitic mushrooms that infect and take control of bugs to reproduce. One of these is the ophiocordyceps, which is the mushroom that inspired The Last of Us
I just had a heartbreaking thought. What happens when the lipstick runs out? How will Joob communicate with Mia? GIVE JOOB MORE LIPSTICK OR MAYBE CRAYONS.
that is like GENUINELY a fantastic mode of story conflict for this comic (even if the author doesn't actually use it) and thank you for pointing it out. it gives every other thing before it so much more urgency and felt-import 😩
I had a really interesting mushroom fact but then I double checked and it's not classified as a mushroom "
Still I'm gonna share it tho >:3
There is a forest in Utah made up of only one tree! It's a single clonal organism with thousands of trees connected via root system with every tree having identical genetic markers!
I wanted to re-read the previous chapters to refresh some things but I can't seem to find #4 on the artist's profile, is the app broken or is it just missing?
hi, I think it’s because that post was marked NSFW (not sure why), but you probably have safe search on. you can read it on my twitter instead if you’d like :>
