I, for one, welcome our new radioactive fungal overlords.

Protomolecule?

My first thought, too. That scene is pure horror in both the show and book!

Come to think of it, the fediverse does kind of remind me of the ring gates.

Or Prax’s invention.

We just need to let it grow until it fills the New Safe Confinement. Then, in a century, when the NSC is due to be replaced we’ll be off the hook thanks to the nuclear shroom.

I read this, with great excitement, to my husband. He listened in terror.
I think those are the only two responses.

Honestly, if any life was going to beat radiation, I’m not surprised it’s mushrooms. They are amazing.
Also, I wonder if they have Mulberry trees in Chernobyl because I can’t kill those things it axes, poison, or digging them up. I bet they’d fare well too.

Excellent. It has been years since I heard about these things. Sounds like they are thriving.

Eukaryotic life: Cancer is a bug in the programming left over from our primitive single celled days.
Slime molds: Cancer is a social construct, actually.

I was going to say, I think I’ve seen this sci Fi.

Once the fungus is directly on the roadie active material we will start to see some crazy stuff.

It wouldn’t be so horrifying if they mushrooms were just growing around it - we’d be like “yeah, mushrooms are resilient.” It’s the “growing towards” part that makes it so unnerving, like it has a plan.

I’m sure that’s fine.

This reminds me of the movie Spore. I recommend it if you like the sound of this article.
