fungi are conceptually lovecraftian horrors but in practice they're basically just strange plants, and i find that neat.

they're basically just strange plants

Actually they're closer to strange animals, which just reinforces just how neat they are!

i know.
The dichotomy is between the knowledge that they're closer to animals than anything else, yet they don't behave anything like animals and they permeate basically every part of the earth.
