The land, water and air around us are chock-full of DNA fragments from fungi that mycologists can’t link to known organisms. These slippery beings are so widespread scientists are calling them “dark fungi.” It’s a comparison to the equally elusive dark matter and dark energy that permeates the universe.
I’m actually fine with a “The Last of Us” dystopian/apocalyptic future. Beats the hell out of “The Handmaids Tale” route we are headed down.
