An under-appreciated quality of #mushrooms is that they are not a single genomic organism.

An under-appreciated quality of #mushrooms is that they are not a single genomic organism.
#Fungi begin life as Hyphae which are microsopic threads. When a large enough community of hypae mature, they merge to form a Dikaryon; a cell with more than one nucleus. Communities of Dikaryons fuse and channel their resources into a fruiting body.
That's what a #mushroom is; the combined efforts of a community of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
They are sky-scrapers, bridges, and rocket ships!
