Next, the circles of plants will engineer their own evolution, merging together to form a smokable Jolly Orange Giant.

By the Turing test, this process will eventually halt in polynomial time.

You had me at, ‘Chanterelles...’ LOL!

One of my BILs is a total Mushroom Hunter. He’s turned us on to so much good stuff growing in our woods.

Is there anything a Mushroom cannot add to a delicious meal?

I think not! :)

Perhaps the roots of a circle of grass grow outward and absorb water between the circles. The cohesive nature of water then pulls water from the surface. Seeds that land in that area may germinate but don’t have enough water to last long.

Some of the locals have a thing for matsutakes...pine mushrooms. I think it’s based mostly on their high-dollar value. I find them to be bland, with some sand thrown in. Chanterelles can be had by the 5 gallon bucket, with a little effort. The coastal rainforest provides lots of opportunities to find edible fungi.

Is it possible these plants are like Bamboo, Aspen and other interconnected grasses/plants?

Maybe he killed himself because he was a homosexual. They kill themselves at higher rates than normal people no matter how “affirming” the society they live in is.

Circular structures, not circles.

Like this with Creosote bushes

I suspect many geniuses have been killed off by their tribe for being “unconventional”.

They are trying to characterize it as structure from randomness when in fact it is a testament to God’s design capability.
