    I always liked the theory that fungi are actually aliens that came from some asteroid from another planet and have just been around long enough that nobody bats an eye at them anymore. I mean, look at slime mold and tell me that not basically Venom!

      Slime mold is a protist not fungi :0. I’m just being a jerk here doesn’t matter lol. I love the slime molds they’re so cool I always liked having them in the lab each year as a teaching tool. Definitely venom

        Correcting phylogenical errors is never being a jerk.

            I mean it isn’t exactly nitpicking, is it? Sure, we don’t tend to care that much about protists vs algae vs bacteria vs anything else that is tiny in common parlance, but these things are all VERY different from each other, aren’t they? Like, different kingdoms different? I mean, if someone ran around saying that rabbits were a form of reptile I wouldn’t think you were nitpicking for correcting them as being a mammal.

      Have you ever heard about the blob?

      It’s a giant single cell intelligent organism that can move, learn, remember things, solve problems and teach others.

      Neither an animal, plant or fungus the blob favorite snack is oatmeal but it hate coffee.
