...And to make matters even more complicated, sexual reproduction in the Fungi consists of three sequential stages: plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis. We are talking sex on the nuclear level here, which sounds EXPLOSIVE to me |
R6, hahaha
You are hilarious! We don't actually know whether mushrooms "feel" anything, but I really do have to applaud the creativity and craft that went into these posts
For your sake, I hope they do enjoy their tasks at hand. And thank you for the interesting facts and making biology lab quite a bit more interesting
Maybe if humanity had 36K sexes, we'd all be much more chilled out and honourable
Peace & blessings
