Bring back tree-sized mushrooms! * 1
    #27724632 - 04/07/22 01:54 PM (1 year, 9 months ago)

Could mushroom spores trapped in amber still be viable and if so is anyone attempting to bring these ancient mushrooms back to life?

> identifying giant mushroom spores
I can image them being giant as well. So how big these tree like creatures were?
I assume we are speaking about fruit bodies here...

Pretty sure OP's talking about them thirty foot tall prototaxite fossils.

Even if we could begin that work, identifying giant mushroom spores from whatever random sporeloads might be stored in amber is, itself, a monumental task. Just figuring out the right spores to look for undamaged DNA in might be an insurmountable task.



Forget all that, that fungus is like 450 million years old.  Earth then isn't the same planet as Earth now, we might as well be on Mars as far as that fungus is concerned.

People have brought back microorganisms from amber i feel like a mushroom spore would be similar.  It's not like they have to look for one either they just freeze the amber and shatter it into a petri and hope something grows.

From what I have seen Raul Cano seems to be the scientist leading most research of this type.  Here is one of the articles: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.7538699

oh and Michael Crichton wrote Jurassic Park after reading about this type of research so it was never really "thoroughly in the realm of fiction."

It's 2022. We can simulate any conditions we want.
