Is it weirder though?

  Yes, I was not disappointed. Even though I still would like to see a Mushroom in a fro, frog mushrooms raise more questions.

  Mushroom growing out of living skin tissue vs dead hair is absolutely weirder.

    Hair isn't dead. It's not cells at all, just extruded protein. But that's largely beside the point.
    • moate 3y ago
      "Dead" in the "nonliving organic material" sense. It seems much easier for mycelium to survive in something incapable of an immune response vs. living tissue. And yes, largely besides the point indeed.

      Hair is composed of dead hair cells.

    'dead hair' is a tad redundant, innit?
