I‘m thankful for nerds who make corrections so I can learn some interesting fact.

  Actually, yeasts are unicellular fungus. I believe that fungus are the most important life-form in this planet by far. Pretty cool, huh? :)

    > unicellular fungus Belongs under the Eurkaryote heading, no?
    • Trex_Egg 5y ago
      yes

    Fungi, like plants and animals, are eukaryotes. However, eukaryotes and bacteria occupy the same rung in the taxonomic divisions (they are domains), so it's the more appropriate correction. The third domain is prokaryotes.

      My wikipedia fact checking tells me that the third domain is archaea which together with the bacteria are prokaryotes. Or did I read sth wrong?
      • HWR_14 5y ago
        Oh, sorry, you are correct. I remembered that archaea had gotten changes and misremembered them.

    That is pretty cool! Paul Stamets is worth mentioning here. One can find a ton of media presence, books and projects from him. Very interesting stuff!

      For a second I thought you were referring to Stamets on Star Trek. Stamets, mycellium... tribute or coincidence?

        > Stamets is inspired by a real-life mycologist of the same name.[1]

  I'm thankful for wikipedia which has probably taught me more biology than my professors ever did. So many detailed articles, and it's actually fun to read them because they contain so many details that never seem to get mentioned in school. The abundance of links lead to a fun exploration of the subject and a massive respect for nature and its designs.
