Article says it only moved to living trees and that its a symbiotic relationship. Which to my understanding of trees, they already do this with other fungi, and this one is just tagging along as well.
The last of us this is not, not even close.
Nature please that is unnecessary.
Are you sure?
We are never going to live peacefully with nature in a balance. Maybe nature needs to take us over and balance us out by itself.
Wait til you find out we are nature
We are nature making non nature things with industry. It took the industrial revolution to push us to where we are with climate change and pollution.
but how is human industry unnatural when termite mounds, anthills, beehives, and beaver dams are natural?
Well, a beaver dam helps the natural environment by creating water habitats for other creatures. Humans create chemicals that don't break down forever, plastics that break down over centuries that include microplastics that are now in our bloodstreams and in in whales stomachs.
Does any of that human stuff sound like it is natural?
Beaver dams are only helpful because other organisms have learned to make use of that niche. There are already bacteria which have learned how to consume plastics, and others which have been shown to break down oil spills. Nature can fix anything we throw at it, given enough time. Humans may go extinct because we can't adapt fast enough to the changing conditions, but something else will always come along eventually that can make use of the waste we create.
rats and many birds are prime examples of species that have already adapted to human cities, and would you look at that they're EXTREMELY successful and have colonized the entire earth along with us.
I'm not saying every part of humanity is bad. Certain parts definitely are and while nature will adapt to some of it, but we are on pace to drive many species to extinction. For all the successful adaptation to our actions the are hundreds and hundreds that don't and if we do that to enough keystone species then the ecosystem could collapse.
Can we get Fungi Goth BBW milky mommy now?
Wholly necessary. This is a case of symbiosis between trees and fungi. Fungi get sugars, trees get nitrogen - and possibly a social network.

The article seems to suggest that the writer has never heard of some species of cordyceps.
Yay?
