@Adrenochrome So delicious yet not.

Reminds me of one form of fungal fruit ... fungi can be equally beautiful.

@NicelyManifest

fungi are so fascinating!

@Adrenochrome Very much so - and so little taught about them in school. Crazy. They link trees for example - they are in symbiotic relationships via the roots.
@NicelyManifest
Aliens? Vegetables? Nope, vegetable and animal bridge mushrooms. They're the myxomycetes, and they can move and hunt for prey or look for the best environment for them. They are born from spores, like mushrooms.
Myxomycetes move like huge amoebas, like pulsating masses: their movements seem to be dependent on microfibrils that remember the fibers of the muscles. These ′′ blobs ′′ crawl at a speed of 1 cm per hour, phagocytosing bacteria, algae, yeasts, and other organic material
@Adrenochrome Slime moulds are actually used in urban planning as they can find the fastest path better than humans
