Mushrooms Can Talk?

[Emerson Dambiggins]

Well, maybe.

Mushrooms can talk to — and protect — each other with ‘up to 50 words’

Fungi can reportedly talk to each other in a sophisticated language of electrical spikes.

Oh no. Now we gotta look out for PETA and PETM. Next, there will be a push by the democrats to let them vote. If they are found dead, they get to vote twice.

I'm not sure if the shrooms can talk but I saw a lamp talk once and there were mushrooms present

Was going to say that if a person heard mushrooms talking, then they got the right ones.

This has fascinating stuff if you're into that sort of thing

I know fungus can be inter connected and I believe the largest living organism in the world. They communicate sure. Talk I don’t know I hear plants can talk. I just don’t speak anything but broken English and red neck so I just don’t understand play language

The Largest Living Thing on Earth Is a 3.5-Square-Mile Fungus

The blue whale is the biggest animal on Earth, but it’s not Earth’s biggest life form. No, the blue whale pales in comparison to the actual largest living thing on the planet: the humongous fungus.

See, the part of a fungus you’re probably most familiar with is the mushroom cap. But that’s only one specific part of the fungus, and in most species, it’s the only part that appears above ground. It’s called a fruiting body, and it’s a reproductive organ. I’ll let you take a minute to absorb the fact that pretty much every mushroom you’ve ever eaten has been fungus genitalia.

If they can talk, I wish they would say,"I'm right here, you idiot" when I am hunting them.

I recall some talking mushrooms, back in my college days, they were wearing polka doted hats too.

To be fair, plant fruits are essentially ovaries and I'm sure at least one vegetable must be some plant's equivalent to a butthole.
