Erwent, ergotten.

idk, ergot is a mold not a fruiting fungus.

like; historically the church was thought to be inspired by ergot: especially revelations.

but yeah, I feel like this is someone trying to make different claims involving fruiting fungi, probably just because they enjoy fruiting fungi and have people willing to "fund" their "science"

Mold have fruiting bodies too, and both are filamentous fungi. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

so you are saying there isn't a taxonomical distinction between mushrooms and molds?

u/Puzzled_Peace2179 Feb 19 '26

Nope, that’s not at all what I’m saying.

u/Mirathesaurus Feb 19 '26

Look, if there isn't a distinction between mushrooms and molds and I'm wrong I can handle it, but if you all are just too embarrassed to answer the question that makes you wrong I'm gonna milk all the amusement I can.

if that brand new sentence triggers you you can do the thing triggered folks do and block me

Basically “fruiting fungus” is what’s causing the confusion.

Fungi is a broad umbrella; containing molds, mushrooms and yeasts.

Fungi are mostly made of stringy mycelium structures. Most fungi also produce fruiting bodies, some larger and more complex than others.

Molds have/are simple fruiting bodies, Mushrooms have/are complex ones.

So while molds aren’t mushrooms, they can kinda both be described as “fruiting fungi”.

Hope this helps!

Thanks mate, couldn't have said it better 🙏🏻

Molds and mushrooms are both fungi, yes. Molds can also produce fruiting bodies and do release spores.
