Mushrooms on Mars? Scientists claim to have found evidence of FUNGI on the Red Planet - or are they just rock formations?
Daily Mail UK ^ | Ryan Morrison

Microbiologist Dr Xinli Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, astrophysicist Dr Rudolph Schild from Harvard-Smithsonian and Dr. Rhawn Gabriel Joseph, aka Space Tiger King, made the claims after studying images snapped by NASA's Curiosity rover on the Red Planet and the orbiting HiRISE craft.

Their study, was has met been with skepticism from the scientific community, argues that what NASA called rocks are actually fungus-like specimens growing in the Martian landscape.

The trio claim that these 'mushrooms' seem to shrink, appear and disappear over a period of days, weeks and months. In one example, the team says there is evidence of fungi resembling Puffballs on Earth 're-sprouting' in tracks left behind by the NASA Curiosity rover.

Wei, Armstrong and Joseph have been sifting through NASA images of Mars for years and have shared their many 'discoveries' with the world on numerous occasions.

In April 2020, Armstrong and Joseph released a similar study on Research Gate that also claimed mushrooms were growing on Mars.

'Throughout its mission at Eagle Crater, Meridiani Planum, the rover Opportunity photographed thousands of mushroom-lichen-like formations with thin stalks and spherical caps, clustered together in colonies attached to and jutting outward from the tops and sides of rocks,' reads the 2020 paper that was not peer-reviewed.

So is this considered life on Mars?

If so, what is an unborn baby, which some call them just a clump of cells.

“Mushrooms on Mars?” That’s nothing. Scientists should see what’s on Uranus.

What happens if the mFungi are more intelligent than our leaders ?

You know, the mFungi are all part of a gigantic being that communicates via quantum entanglement, and when the top secret mars mission to investigate the face and crystal city inadvertently brought a few spores back it thrived in the easy conditions at area51 and eventually directed to seek out other life forms to control and enslave...

Terence McKenna called this one decades ago:

(discusses mushrooms as extraterrestrial “thumb-prints)

“This thing looks like an alien artifact.”

I clicked on this thread because of the theory of the extraterrestrial origin of Fungi. Fungi and mushrooms are pretty weird in any case.
