Did you read the paper or at the very least examine all of the photo sequences in the full text article? The examination of the spheres in the rover treads and their reappearance is significant, as is the positional analysis of various spheres as they grow in size over a 3 day period. It isn't just morphology, there are some dynamics at work that point to a fungal-like growth as the simplest explanation.

- tsimionescu 5y agoNo, they point to growth as an explanation, and the authors dismiss one possible geological process known from earth. There is no reason to dismiss unknown geological and chemical processes that can happen at the extremes of low pressure and temperature found on the Martian surface. Jumping straight to multicellular life, one of the most complex structures that we've ever seen in the universe, is absurd.
