So, fungal spores are literally everywhere, and the requirements for fungus to thrive seem to be trivially low; give it a moderately humid environment and it’ll grow on a bare concrete wall ffs eating god only knows what; the dust from the air maybe?
Well, and the great outdoors is full of slightly damp places, many of them downright soggy most of the time - and absolutely rife with organic material to snack on.
Where’s the bottleneck? Why isn’t the world a choking fungal hellscape?
TIL Mario smacking a brick until a mushroom pops out is based on reality.
And the mushroom making him bigger most certainly is not.
No, no, that’s pills (unless they make you small; or your mother gave you them, in which case they don’t do anything at all).
Well, one makes you bigger, one makes you small. Of course the one’s mom gives out don’t do anything at all.
The mushroom just makes him think he’s bigger.
