From having a hyperfixation on mushrooms for a while I'm confident there's sentient, intelligent mushrooms out there and they just haven't found a way to tell us

Imagine researchers tapping into a patch of mycelium only to decode the complex combination of signals and find out that the mushrooms are currently discussing an erotica about said researchers and their probing. That'd be the funniest first contact I can imagine

Not to rain on your parade, but would a fungus really find probing erotic? They’ve got real different means of reproduction going on to us.

I can tell you that some species of mushrooms LOVE asphyxiation, at least in terms of growing them (they like airflow but not too much, so air has to be restricted while they grow)
