Description

Science Fact Friday Week 2: Fungi!

Had to do a little pen & ink mushroom for class this week so fungi has been on my mind. Managed to finish it early enough to feature it here! I love stippling.

Dear Kingdom Eumycota,


Please continue to evolve to hunt exclusively nematodes and parasitize other invertebrates. All vertebrates would greatly appreciate it if you stop parasitizing us. There are warm-blooded species that evolved as a way to prevent infection.

Killer fungi made us hot-blooded
Being warm-blooded takes a lot of energy, so why did it evolve? It may be a shield against deadly fungal diseases, writes Rob Dunn

Now fungi are infecting warm-blooded species like never before.
