Let it cook.

Humans need need some dread to take our minds off from all the other dread.

One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out.

I see you know your fungi quite well

This is mycology manifest!

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent mycelium meal?

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 39 points 1 month ago

Can I have a link to the actual article/paper?

University of the West of England’s unconventional computing laboratory

The "unconventional computing laboratory" was definitely founded in partnership with Miskatonic U.

Reading the introduction of the study (first link), they completely fail to explain why they call this language. Like, first they explain that fungi also have action potentials and that this seems to work like neurons and then they immediately jump to talk about how this could be a language. Am I missing something here? This seems like a legit paper, but why don't they even attempt to explain or discuss this?

It just is establishing something is happening that needs further investigation. Language is used because it's the closest possible parallel we have so far. Papers like this present ideas to legitimise further investigations. It's a starting place.

This came from the New York Globe on April 1st, that's all I know.

Just started watching Last Of Us, don't fuck with mushrooms

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fun fact, global climate change is actually changing the temperature ranges that many fungus can exist in. Last of Us probably won't come to pass because the cordyceps fungus evolved to zombify ants and other insects that it existed alongside with over millions of years, and we haven't had any kind of constant contact with a similar fungus strain, so the chances of it being able to interact with our physiology is really, really remote.

But we can absolutely get really harsh strains of Valley Fever in areas where the infectious fungus doesn't usually exist, and fungal infections are incredibly hard to treat.

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

[-] considine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Usually ends in "wheep ni ni grah". But my universal greeting is rusty. Maybe a regional dialect of universal greeting.

May need Weird Al to confirm with some party music.

"Oh no. Not again."

[-] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

This further reinforces my theory they fungi are an alien species that is trying to guide humans towards a better future

[-] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

lenin was a mushroom, so this checks out

[-] match@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

There is no god, only Cthulhu
