Boldly growing where no spore has grown before.

Captain! The Furungi have taken over the ship!
@georgetakei #ALT4you a screenshot of a social media post from an account named Retro Toys and Cartoons, featuring an image of a mushroom in a forest in the shape of the Starship Enterprise, and the text "Space: The Fungal Frontier".
@georgetakei - I bet there’s not mush room inside….
@georgetakei
It should look like Discovery, shouldn't it?
@georgetakei This is all getting a bit too meta for my brain...
@georgetakei so that's what the Spore Drive was all about

@georgetakei

These are the mycelium of the sporeship, Mushie Fries. It's sponge-tinuing mission, to re-spore strange new worlds. To seek out new dark places and new portobellations. To boldly grow, where no 'shroom has bloomed before.
Cap'n's Mossy Log

@georgetakei imagine any time space. The spore has been there
@georgetakei You can do lots of things with DALL·E

@jajo @georgetakei good ol' days where gimping was am art and only memelords had this power

i dont know whether this is AI generated, but image manipulation once was an art

@georgetakei beware of the toad's tool!
@georgetakei The spore drive was always canon!
@georgetakei live long and prospore? Anyone? Noone? Is my feed not loading? (:

@georgetakei

YOU MEANT MOLDLY GO

😅

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @georgetakei Black alert! We're going on a star trip! Amanita few more to get the whole ship flying.
@georgetakei Hey, is that the Captain's Log?
@georgetakei Star Trek: Discovery manifested.
@georgetakei Live long and hallucinate. 🖖
@georgetakei first sighting of the Discovery....
@georgetakei You're a damned treasure, George. Don't ever change.
@georgetakei Well that hardly hurt at all.
@georgetakei I thought Discovery was the only ship with a spore drive!? Clearly not.
@georgetakei Very special. Nature is wonderful. If only we took more care of her.
@georgetakei Don't eat the Starcap mushrooms!
@georgetakei Unfortunately, that looks AI generated. But somewhat cool anyway.
@georgetakei Black alert! Activating spore drive
