Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW

They look more like a fungus than a plant

Is fungus differentiated from plants? Honest question, not a smartass one.

The four kingdoms of eukaryotes are:

  • Animals
  • Plants
  • Fungi
  • Protists

So, taxonomically, plants are as different from fungi as they are from animals.

Above that is the domains of life:

  • Eukaryotes (all of the above)
  • Bacteria
  • Archaea

Then above that:

  • Cellular life (all of the above)
  • Viruses
  • Viroids
  • Obelisks (Potentially. Just announced last month.)

And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.

They don't self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.

yeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.

Got any links on obelisks? Can't find anything other than articles on Egyptian sandstone monuments

Thanks! I finally got an ID on some wild looking fungi I found last month!

No, definitely not.

As an aside never eat mushrooms unless you know for certain what they are.

I remembered Mr. Garrison's book from South Park and his book "Penis Valley".

Everyone making penis comparisons really just reveal that they have tiny micro penises.
