I have seen Fungus!
A month ago, I was in southern France. Our bus went along a salina with already a high concentration of salt which killed off most life. The only thing which could endure this concentration was an alga (they say, we know better) with a colour which quite closely matched that of fungus.

I wasn't able to measure short-range thought waves and the size of the salinas was apparently too short to induce fear. I also wasn't able to see mindworms, because the bus was going too fast. But apparently, fungus is here!

Just leave your food in the open air for a couple of days and you'll see fungus as well.

Colour is (nearly) everything! White, green, blue or black fungus is from Earth. Purple is from Planet.

Yes, Ecthy, I still remember your "Toast with Fungus" thread on OT last year.

It really looks more of a pinkish than a purple on my computers.

Kinda like Pepto-bismol.

Worms are likely, too, and will cause a measure of anxiety in the squeamish
