Part 2/9:
Grigner began by showcasing a curiosity from his recent mushroom-hunting expedition—a deformed common bonnet mushroom. He observed its unique shape, resembling a spaceship, and shared insights on common edible mushrooms, including their ecological roles. Grigner emphasized the importance of mycelium, often likened to the "internet of the forest," which connects various life forms and facilitates nutrient exchange. This discussion naturally transitioned to a metaphorical comparison between mycelium and the cosmic structure of dark matter.
