Okay I've just got to say this was much better than I expected

Even more interesting is that fungi cant be properly classified, with DNA research we are better understanding where it sits in the animal and plant kingdom and have come to the decision it has its own kingdom as it is neither and or the best of flora or fauna.

Huh? It is properly classified... as a fungi. I don't know when anyone thought everything living was either an animal or a plant but I know at least 40 years ago it was understood both fungi and prokaryotes were other distinct forms of life

I met a prokaryote once.
No matter what I said, that bastard wouldn't stop asking people to come up on stage and sing to famous songs.

mycology was regarded as a branch of botany, although it is now known that fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants.

In 1969, a scientist named Robert Whittaker published the first major revision to Linnaeus's proposed two kingdom classification – animals and plants (which included fungi). In the revised version, Whittaker suggested that fungi should be classified as a separate kingdom, and this has been accepted by scientists.

The first genome sequenced of a eukaryotic organism was for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as reported in 1996, but it was more than 10 years before any of the zygomycete fungi, which are the early-diverging terrestrial fungi currently placed in the phyla Mucoromycota and Zoopagomycota, were sequenced.

We are still evolving our understanding of fungi as they can't photo synthesise liek plants, have many traits from Fauna after genetic testing.

This rudimentary memory can be considered as a form of consciousness. Just like the animal brain, the fungal mind is aware of, and responds to, its environment. The acute sensitivity of the fungi observed at the cellular level argues for the presence of a mind.

Hyphae and mycelia show decision-making capabilities.

This was recognised in 2021, so only a few years ago. If I recall Japanese scientists used fungi to map out a replica of a subway for better effeciency.

So you're saying that the anunnaki are actually fungi

You sound like a fun guy. Or fungi, I can't tell which.

Logged in just to upvoat this. This is incredible if you took this yourself.
