Yeah, I’ve seen it happen a bit where a scientific “discovery” is made, but common sense and and first-hand experience has largely already pieced it together. I think it is sometimes just that it is nice to have it formally verified by a rigorous scientific study.
I think there is a whole lot to be uncovered in the world of fungi, this study finding that mushrooms have up to 50 different “words” is quite interesting [1] . Everything that Andrew Adamatzky is doing with the connection between computers and fungi is fascinating. I suppose this “words” discovery is another case where many people have known for ages through first-hand experience that mushrooms are able to “talk” to them ;)
The article was still a positive, IMHO. Some people probably haven’t been around enough animals to really understand the nuances of their behavior, so it could have easily been an eye opener.
It’s kind of a running joke in the psychedelic communities that a mushroom is sort of a guide. It won’t give you the trip you want, but rather, the trip you need. (I shit you not, I jokingly personify mushrooms now because of my own experiences. It’s a thing.)
