      Similarly, I plan on double crossing the mafia so Thin Lips Johnny can chop me up and feed me to the pigs. Circle of life.

      Fun fact, humans share more DNA with fungi than they do with plants. We share nearly 50% of our DNA with fungi.

      Plus mushrooms are the sex organs of the mycelium organism. Just an extra fun fact for free there.

          The earliest fungi evolved approximately 1.5 billion years ago, while green algae, the earliest plant, only evolved ~1 billion years ago. Animalia is significantly newer.
