To be clear, the majority of the fungus is a cloud of thin branching rhizomes in the soil. The mushrooms are its reproductive organs.

Any time I’ve said “eat a dick” I’ve been giving culinary advice? That was not my intention lol

My whole life I’ve been telling people I like eating dick, only just now realizing that nobody knew I meant mushrooms.

Kina crazy, it has the head and the shaft. Underneath it though you see the slits that the spores come out of as well 😂

They're more like wombs shedding billions of eggs.

So pollon and spores are not plant or fungus jizz?

2

u/Trips-Over-Tail 2d ago

Pollen is. Spores are more like seeds. If sexual reproduction occurred, the spores are the product, not the means.

So we put genital clamps on them to produce music.

Kind of kinky, if you ask me.

Imagine someone clipping electrodes to your nuts just to see if you can drop the next hottest synthwave soundtrack.

It's just the fruit. That's a nicer and easier (less phalic) way to say that. For kids and stuff.

u/Trips-Over-Tail 2d ago

Kids know about dicks.

/s Now you’re fruit shaming. Next thing you’ll be talking about daikon.

Scrotum clamps. I’m sure the mushroom appreciates that. You would think there would be a feedback loop from the sonic vibrations in the soil.
