    Well screw them, get over here and tell me about it. Sounds interesting as hell, and I only really have a base understanding of it. I’ll get a table ready.

      Okay so you know how you have a gut microbiome that’s part of how you digest all this weird crap, like a whole ecosystem? Like how when you eat something you havent in a while, it doesn’t necessarily go down easy, because you might have a small/extinct population of whatever handles some of the stuff in there?

      That’s nothing compared to plants and fungi-anf its not totally clear which, if either, is in control.

    Can someone talk to me about them? Explain like I’m a relatively not-stupid person with little experience in biology
