RE: Mapping A Tiny World: Cannibal Fungus
It's weird to imagine any creature as a cannibal - even one as far removed from ourselves as the fungus. But I guess that's just my limited human brain perspective doing the talking.
Arguably though "cannibal" is a misnomer in this context - or a least hyperbole - depends onwhether you define cannabilism as intra species ingestion. In which case his is not quite it. :)
As macabre as it might sound, nutrients are nutrients. And sadly people are not exempt, historucally speaking. Thoughit takes a lot to get us there.
