Fungus Internet

[Anonymous No.14860173]

I’m looking for books on information theory, computer networks, mycology, and mycorrhizal networks.
I would also like to know how to stop being so afraid of fungus and mushrooms and mold. Every time I’m near them/one I feel like breathing in spores will cause growths in me which will eventually rot my living body and eat me.

Your fear isn't unfounded unfortunately. Fungal spores can be quite dangerous. On the other hand, mushrooms are quite delicious. Perhaps a book on recipes would help?

Agen Cormac series by Neal Asher if you want some decent sci fi

Thank you, that looks interesting. And yeah I should just stop being a pussy, but I always feel when I enter a particularly grown-over section of the woods that I’m in “their” territory so I start running. Next time I’ll go slowly just for you.

If you have something in mind I’m interested, though I will not be harvesting my own.

>Feel like i'm breathing in spores

Mushroom spores are almost everywhere and you breathe them in constantly :)

do you have nightmares about that?

My fact-brain knows that, but it only becomes scary when I’m confronted by an especially large fungal outgrowth/moldy cellar.
>>14860553
No, my nightmares are exclusively about spiders, disfigurement, and bureaucracy.

Here’s one. Not sure if he touches on computer network theories.

mushrooms are tasty.
get a bunch of different ones, don't forage because you'll die without good knowledge, and make a soup or stew. you'll surely like them then.

Thank you for these recommendations.
>>14861190
That was a great story! It reminds me of those books of short stories “for boys” about pirates and ghosts from when I was a little kid.
>>14861203
I’ll go to the library for some identification guides. Maybe once I eat a bunch the fear will go away. Or perhaps I’ll just become like that guy from The Voice in the Night die in the woods. Mushroom stew is whimsical rather than scary.

Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly

Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.

Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,

Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,

Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. We

Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking

Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!

We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,

Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:

We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door.
