Three nights ago now, I had a peculiar and disturbing dream. Curiosity was born: what were the limits of fungi? A particular semester I had taken a Genetics course (with the supplement co-requisite lab) with a professor who had a background in mycology. This was easily made visible through some of the examples and anecdotes she used in her lectures and I greatly appreciate this. Because I can still remember some of this and it pulls on my creative strings. This came out in my dreams:
Can you imagine a collection of hyphae organized to mimic humans? Sentient life that had a very real and visceral goal? I dreamed that. And quickly before I forget this past dream - fighting, packaging warehouse, goal, unkillable?, thought to be dead, urinal. Anyway, those first two sentences sparked this desire to know more about fungi. As well as the possible development of a little mini comic.
While doing some light research I came across Paul Stamets TED talk which I highly encourage you to watch here. It just gives me a ton of ammo with which to take this prospective comic to. And there's so much more information out there!
