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?

    The other theory is that mycelium starts to develop in a tree that is about to die, and when the tree falls, that is the trigger for fruiting.

    (I personally have no clue where these theories originated from and can’t speak to them.)

    FYI, your Lemmy client did a triple post from Lemmy world and it exposed your alt on .ca.

      What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?

      Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?

        The exact same comment was posted from a Lemmy World account 2-3 times, and once from another account on Lemmy .ca.

        My wild speculation is that the user made a comment, it lagged, the refresh button was hit a couple of times resulting in multiple POST commands. Maybe the session continued to appear lagged for the user and they switched accounts, resulting in yet another duplicate POST being executed with the new session token. Again, that is just speculation.

        In my experience, dupe comments are common with phone clients, either on Lemmy or Reddit. I suppose the same could happen with PC browsers if there is system or VPN lag.
