32,000 years ago, an arctic squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended. Its body was recovered and examined. Scientists germinated this plant seed. This silene stenophylla just bloomed.
It is 32,000 years old

I do genuinely believe the reason we don’t talk about fungi more is because if the average human thought about it all for too long, it would lead to the destruction of civilization.

We scientists have a funny relationship with our humanness. For a long time, talking about science as a *human* practice could be perceived as a threat to objectivity and the validity of science.
