Good to see you still fighting the good fight : ) Reading this colorful post feels like I'm wearing those funky 3-D glasses! As far as symptoms and findings being works of Science Fiction- We couldn't make this sh*t up!
I'm posting a few of the pix that show the fiber optic-like light transmission that I'm not sure how they(fungi or ?) are using it. As an attractant for prey? Energy? So they can see what they're doing? Who knows? : ) What else do they transmit besides light??
