i think it's really cool to like mycology as much as i do - it's such a vast field, with so many implications and outreaching effects (both good and bad), and it's very fun to say that I'm interested in EVERYTHING.

#likee yeah I know about fungal diseases and how they decimated the frog population (esp chytridiomycosis)#I know about mycotoxins and that mould scares a lot of people (understandably)#and yeast! Candida auris and its drug resistance #but I'm still interested in them!! all of it :)#it's really funny bc I can't “defend” them like animals - how they don't mean harm to humans‚ we're just there and disturbing their habitat #I admit fungi cause harm lol. no doubt about that: that's how they reproduce #doesn't mean I like them any less though! don't think “like” is the best word to use for this but you get my point #my posts #text #mycology #fungi #told my mum this and she said “you're crossing over to the dark side” well what if I welcome that 👀#isn't it so interesting that some fungal components have medicinal properties and others are the pathogens :]#(probably because some that harm bacteria harm us too)#fungi r like the delicious nuance of the natural world I think. rejecting the binaries. I love that shit
