Mycelium as Memory: Could Forests Be Conscious?

Is the forest… conscious? New science suggests mycelium might store memory, transmit information, and even behave like a biological brain. This spore-stained deep dive explores whether forests are thinking, feeling, and remembering through the Grand Cosmic Mycelial Network. Read at your own risk—your next hike might feel like entering a sentient cathedral.

🧬 Genetic Hijacker: How Cordyceps Rewrites Insect DNA—And What That Could Mean for Us

From caterpillars to CRISPR: Cordyceps may be the fungi writing the next genetic operating system.​ You’ve seen the zombie ant memes. Now meet the real Cordyceps militaris—the fungus that doesn’t just possess its prey but reprograms their genetic destiny. With cross-kingdom RNA transfer theories and CRISPR-level potential, this mushroom might be more bioengineer than killer. And with the militaris vs. sinensis breeding war heating up in labs worldwide, the spore drama is real. Step into the lab-grown wild and find out why some scientists think Cordyceps might hack us next.
