A slightly more Darwinistic conclusion would be that we are judging the effects of our biological success on too short a timescale. The fungus is obviously thriving in its new habitat.
- bmitc 3y agoI don't know what you mean by that. These things always have downstream effects, often quite negative. Bats are an important species that help keep insect and pest populations in check in addition to pollinating plants and spreading seeds.
- lokimedes 3y agoI mean that our activity is the vector for another organism’s survival by spreading to a new habitat. That is, according to natural selection, how nature works. It is on the other hand odd that we humans believe ourselves to be exempt from evolution, and therefore in this case, feel guilt from being the mode of transportation for a mushroom, and in so many other cases, ignoring and even denying, the we too evolve through selection and evolutionary pressures. I’m no fan of invasive species, but who are we to judge the migrants looking for a better life in the new world?
