WOW that was one of THE MOST fascinating things I've ever seen in my life. Thanks a lot for posting that simisu.
Somethings I want to adress...
I saw this guy on the controversial movie "The llth hour", did you by chance remember seeing him on that movie?(that is, if you've even seen the movie)
I am amazed that humans are more closely related to mushrooms than any other kingdom of organisms
He said "the prospect of fungi existing on other planets is a forgone conclusion, at least in my mind"...Why would he say this after displaying and explaining all kinds of benefits the earth as a whole gains from fungi? If fungi are so great and exist/come into being, relatively easy, wouldn't it be plausible to say that perhaps fungi probably DO exist on other planets?
around minute 14 is insane!! a mushroom growing out of an ants head!
again thanks for sharing man that was really insightful...Mushrooms are great, this has inspired me to trip on some of my stored dried psi cyanescens very very soon!

well... i've been watching loads of these talks in the past three weeks (since i came across the website) and most of them (90%) are amazing, each in his own right.
it depends what your interests are... just watch whatever takes yr fancy and i'm sure you won't be disappointed :shurg:
it made me really want to get up and make things happen in my own little world, it really is inspiring in the full sense of the word!

Terrance McKenna says that mushroom spores are perfect for deep-space travel. The fact that spores are so small they can be carried into the upper atmosphere and sloughed off into deep space and they are deep purple with a coat that is super hard makes them perfect to resist the UV rays and extreme temps and conditions of space.
I like to think that mushrooms are an organism from another planet, if not purely scientific, just for the intrigue of it.
Portobellos are delicious too.
