So Fungi, you’re raking in the dough.
Silly me! '-)
Add in eradication of yeast, such as personal hygiene products and antibiotics, and surely we’re talking 6%.
I am going to reaffirm my interest in brewing beer again.

to make it you use a “SCOBY”:
Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria (and) YEAST..!
(a scoby looks like a white hocky puck...buy it off of Ebay)
There’s a fungus amongus.
Fungi will rise to the occasion...
but he’s gotta stay warm. Fungi
can also be very flatulent.
There are so many new "craft beer" makers around here; they probably use lots of it.
I had no idea it had that big of a percentage of our GNP.
And now this guy on Coast to Coast is freaking people out about gluten.
What is wrong with it? Unless you have celiac disease which isn't very prevalent, I can't imagine giving it up.
I note there are so many old people who live well into their 90's, and I know for certain that they lived all their lives on lots of bakery and white flour even.
It was extruded and dried to about 8% moisture, and packaged.
Spore lore.
Your interest in fungus makes you a fun guy.
Fungi are our eurkaryotic relatives.
From Wiki:
It is estimated at least 31% of yeast genes have homologs in the human genome.
I had sauteed mushrooms with my steak this evening. I...I hope it wasn’t any of your relatives. And beer. (Doffs hat). Without beer the range of human creativity would be sadly attenuated. Without it, would anyone ever think of lighting bottle rockets from his butt crack? I thought not. Hail Fungi!
Dihydrogen monoxide probably ranks higher in dollars and percent of GDP.
There is a fungus
among us!
Hail Vegemite!
You don’t know the half of it.......
Humongus Fungus
Armillaria ostoyae (sometimes called Armillaria solidipes) is a species of plant pathogenic fungus in the Physalacriaceae family. It is the most common variant in the western U.S., of the group of species that all used to share the name Armillaria mellea. Armillaria ostoyae is quite common on both hardwood and conifer wood in forests west of the Cascade crest. The mycelium attacks the sapwood and is able to travel great distances under the bark or between trees in the form of black rhizomorphs (”shoestrings”).
In most areas of North America, Armillaria ostoyae can be separated from other species by its physical features. Its brown colors, fairly prominent scales featured on its cap, and the well-developed ring on its stem sets it apart from any Armillaria. (Herink, 1973)
It is known to be one of the largest living organisms, where scientists have estimated a single specimen found in Malheur National Forest in Oregon to be 2,400 years old, covering 3.4 square miles (2,200 acres; 8.8 km2) and colloquially named the “Humongous Fungus”.[1] Armillaria ostoyae grows and spreads primarily underground and the bulk of the organism lies in the ground, out of sight. Hence, the organism is invisible from the surface. In the autumn this organism blooms “honey mushrooms”, evidence of the organism beneath. Low competition for land and nutrients have allowed this organism to grow so huge; it possibly covers more geographical area than any other living organism.[2][3]
I wonder if I should cultivate reishi mushrooms and see if the bitter taste can be hidden in something like a brownie since they are all over the place here anyway... Piasa’s Brownies of Youth
