      Fun fact, humans share more DNA with fungi than they do with plants. We share nearly 50% of our DNA with fungi.

      Plus mushrooms are the sex organs of the mycelium organism. Just an extra fun fact for free there.

          There are theories that hypothesize that mycelium came to earth via asteroids from space.

          So it may be more apt to say that OP eats space dick instead.

        It’s my understanding that fungi came around rather late in the game. Long after animals and plants both.

          The earliest fungi evolved approximately 1.5 billion years ago, while green algae, the earliest plant, only evolved ~1 billion years ago. Animalia is significantly newer.

      Similarly, I plan on double crossing the mafia so Thin Lips Johnny can chop me up and feed me to the pigs. Circle of life.
