Fungus are most of the time the reproductive organs popping up through the ground from an enormous hidden underground super organism. So, in affect, if you enjoy eating mushrooms you are actually enjoying the fungus's cock and balls.

But see, the fungus can communicate too.

I guess it's down to butthole sunning and air to sustain ourselves.

They are as alive as the plants. But maybe mushrooms, like fruit, are intended to be eaten, to spread the spores. 👀 🍄
