Comments now locked due to the immense amount of attention. At least a lot for this sub. This is ultimately an educational sub. Fun to have a goof every now and then but in the end, this doesn’t really belong here. Nothing personal to OP or any goofy commenters.

Original comment:

In all seriousness OP, I’m not sure if this is fungal.

Also folks, normally we wouldn’t allow this much joking and nonsense in the comments, but seeing as we probably won’t get a good answer here. That’s okay. Let’s just keep it relatively appropriate please, thanks.

I’d probably say it’s roots, not AI, but I’m a mushroom person not a plant or AI person.

Edit: okay no, maybe not AI, but clearly edited. Or maybe AI! Or maybe not anything! Again this ain’t my thing.
