A thought-provoking new study from a team of scientists who examined images of Mars argues that the Red Planet is rife with mushrooms and other fungi that can be seen growing over the course of time. The intriguing hypothesis was laid out in a paper published this week in the journal Advances in Microbiology. The researchers behind the study looked at sequential images taken by the Opportunity Rover and the HiRISE satellite which orbits Mars and, in the process, noticed objects on the surface of Mars changing dramatically in a manner suggesting that they could be alive.
For example, as seen in the comparative image above, the team noted that in the first photo "nine spherical and semi-spherical specimens lay upon the coarse grain sand of Meridiani Planum." However, in an image taken just three days later, those original objects seem to have grown considerably and there are now 12 of the curiously shaped oddities in the same spot. Beyond the baffling spherical anomalies, the paper cites several other cases wherein it appears as if the surface of Mars sports a variety of "mold, lichens, algae, methanogens, and sulfur-reducing species." Based on their analysis, the scientists posit that the different types of fungi grow in cycles that are in keeping with the seasons on Red Planet.

Maligned Martian Mushrooms May Make Menu.
Fuzzy Fungi From Faraway Flourishing.
Other scientists say its just hematite formations.
I think people are more prone to believe the posibility they want to be true, for whatever reason or reasons they have.
A more horizontal shot of the area would probably be more conclusive.
Sure, got to fake a few pictures for the gullible rubes who fund these boondoggles, and there’s no possible way to prove them wrong.
Of course, George Nori is a Democrat. He doesn’t mind fake news.
Magic?
Maybe we should try introducing tardigrades to Mars.
Sure the scientists weren’t ingesting mushrooms . . . ?
Those are genital warts. You don’t want those.
We only have to tell druggies where to get thevshrooms from and they will fky to Mars with/without a rocket.
What would be incredible is the alien that’s frying up the mushrooms for dinner,with ramen noodles and some kind of vegetation.....
Mushrooms would therefore suggest formerly living mater in the soil beneath the mushrooms.
What could that be?
fiercely flourishing furiously
It’s that Green Girl from Star Trek just before she blowed up real good!
“Coast to coast am”... Oh brother! What next? big foot, loch ness monster, shadow people, aliens living in crystal structures on the dark side of the moon.... Consider the source, for crying out loud!
