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 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.

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

    [edit]: Found it! https://doi.org/10.1126/scirobotics.adk8019

    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

    Let's just hope that that fungus won't start worshipping Gork and Mork any time soon.
