🔬 Things mycologists say that sound completely unhinged to everyone else
“It’s not blood, it’s just guttation.”
“The ring is probably older than that church.”
“Technically it’s not a plant.”
“I wouldn’t eat that one. The gills are the wrong colour.”
“What colour should gills be?”
“Pink.”
“Those look pink.”
“Not that pink.”
“The smell is important. No, you have to really smell it.”
“That’s a beautiful volva.”
(They mean the mushroom base.)
“It’s doing something we don’t have a word for yet.”
“Climate change is going to make this so much worse. The fungi are adapting.”
“Adapting how?”
“Toward us.”
“I know it looks edible but you can’t just go by looks.”
“Then how do you know?”
[long pause]
“Experience.”
“We only know about 10% of fungi species. The rest are out there.”
“Out where?”
“Everywhere. Beneath everything. Right now.”
“I’ve named three of them.”
[nobody asked]
