Can Fungi Take Over Humanity?

Well, we're talking just about fungi!
Although, “just” may not be the appropriate wording here given how astonishing they are!
Some fungus facts you're going to learn today will surprise, delight, alarm, and make you happy, all at the same time.
Why are fungi closer to animals than plants?
What kind of giant tree-tall mushrooms grew in ancient times?
Where does the largest organism on Earth hide?
Is it true that some fungi produce rocket fuel?
How do fungi turn insects into zombies?
Could fungi take over the world just like they did in The Last of Us?
And much more fascinating stuff!
Fungi.

I've seen every documentary about mushrooms, this one is simply great, brilliant, informative and beautiful to watch! Where is the triple thumbs up button?! Thank you so very much for this post!! greetings from Switzerland

[@AwenyddGryffin]

Some of the info, especially about where fungi are found is misleading. Bioluminecent fungi are not just found in Brazil, Australia, NZ, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Africa... species can be found in over 80 countries

I was part of a study for the ‘Reading university’ in 2020. I ate nothing but mushrooms and various edible fungi for 3 months. The most noticeable result for me, was that my bum hole ended up looking like a zoo keepers boot.

Hope they paid you good for it

Could Fungi Take Over The World? 15.11.23 0526am no doubt your nether end was easily accessible during that period? i have no idea nor can i conjure such an image in my minds eye re: a zoo keepers boot and your butt. and, quite frankly, that's for the best. eating mushrooms, nothing but... did you lose weight, then? well, i doubt you'd be hungry if it was fly agaric or psylocibin... i aint a particular fan, foodwise... but they're cool life forms... i have black mould growing on my walls. obviously, bleach can deal with it but.................. a frightening thought if you consider breathing in the spores can kill or suffering insane notions due to breathing in the spores can be induced.... without fungi then there's no life as we know it. amazing that such a simple life form can carry the weight of all life on earth with it...

@@JJONNYREPP I lost 3 stone in 3 months and never felt better. Fast dynamic thought processes, 5 hours sleep a night and not wanting anymore, never tired simply fantastic. However, my pants looked like a BMX track if a fart was not a fart. 👍

@@iala2058 Could Fungi Take Over The World? 15.11.23. That's too much info, dude. I ain't a coprophiliac... But your living on nought but mushrooms is of interest...did you get to pep them up with garlic and chilli or did you just suffer the deprivations of variation with glee? Did you vary the intake or subsist on ergot infused rye or fly agaric? I should have become a botanist. that biology teacher served a purpose after all.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYeZpYahg6ZgiJIfeature=shared

The only way this could happen in real life is if it is genetically made as a bioweapon, then deployed stealthily against a nation....which is becoming more possible due to how close to WWIII we're getting these days. The perfect weapon, turning a population into cannibalistic zombies.

Enjoyable, the movies use imagination and shock effects to create a blockbuster movie. 1 oz. of truth and 99 % imagination. What you haven't touched on was science manipulation. With what these fungus, molds and virus have and scientist. wanted " TO SEE WHAT HAPPEN" we have nano technology., splicing. with the fungus world, guess what, growth spurts and mutations. So, what we think is not possible becomes possible, Consequences are ignored because "this is a Big Break" in science. What you think will never happen, Already have,.......................No one has let jack out of the box yet because "loose lips sink ships".
