Everything in our world is fractal and similar, including different types of life. Let's take a look at a selection of stones that grow from the ground like truffles.
Hard to believe, isn't it?
See for yourself.
Just put aside the ossified dogmas of the "impossible" for a minute and trust your eyes.
To begin with, this (there will be more later).
Promotional video:
Here is the sowing in a sandy substrate:
Here it sprouts. the legs are still visible in some places:
Proros:
One fruit ripened and fell off, others await fate)
A slightly different kind of life.
Yehliu geopark Taiwan:
Mushrooms for comparison:
The hats and legs are not so obvious here, but only for now.
Here the caps become more pronounced and rounded:
Compare with mushrooms:
In the foreground are young animals with flat caps, in the background - adults with round ones.
Any doubts that this has grown?
Truncated hornbeam Clavariadelphus truncatus for comparison:
Stone farm:
Stone morel:
Morels from the forest (bio):
Trowants:
Mushroom grandfather's tobacco:
Mushrooms:
A very interesting type of stone truffles in America (I'll tell you later where).
Bio truffle:
Young seeds are in the foreground, sprouted seeds are visible in the background.
Out into the light, the Grain sprouted:
Smooth stone planting beds:
Coral for comparison:
Beds of maturing rocks.
Individual mushrooms.
Cactus (for comparison):
Further, we see different stages of mountain development, starting with seeds ("truffles") and up to fully formed peaks.
Here are seeds growing from a quartz substrate:
The legs and the fruits themselves begin to lengthen:
The nights are slightly higher.
The hats opened, the legs merged:
So they sprouted into more mature individuals, grew longer legs and opened their caps (see background).
The legs begin to expand, the caps have opened and have already undergone a little erosion, the space is being developed.
Colony of stone mushrooms.
Here the caps opened. buds, expand and then unite the legs, filling the space:
The merging of the caps in the foreground is almost complete. the second one shows bouquets of new layers.
The caps and legs are still visible here, the space is not yet filled, but growth is in full swing.
The bed is almost ripe.
The hats and legs are of the same diameter, the space is almost mastered in the foreground. juveniles ready to merge are still visible on the right:
The hats have opened, the legs have expanded, the sphere of influence is almost tightened:
2 generations in one photo: small germinating seeds in the foreground and mature / ripe mountains in the far:
Ultimately, we have those very layered mountains, about which there is so much controversy (sowing rocks, certainly not volcanoes):
And this is how this array looks from the satellite. doesn't it look like a mycelium filling the desert?
Of course, only one of the possible types of reproduction is shown here. It is difficult to determine the timing of growth, but apparently, these are not millions, but thousands, maybe hundreds of years. In addition, growth rates can accelerate and slow down, depending on environmental conditions and needs. Most of our mountains have long been "ripe", their growth processes have stopped or slowed down significantly, but many continue to grow, although so far this growth can be observed only in comparison with other living tissues, because its time is stretched or close to freezing. If we could film mountain ranges on camera for a thousand years and skip at 10,000x acceleration, we would see it.
As with all living things, stones can have different races and types, structures, growth rates, sizes, softness, hardness, malleability in management (compliance or non-cooperation) and the establishment of growth programs, porosity and methods of appearance on (visible to us) shine. Considering that any stone consists of crystals, and crystals have the ability to accumulate energy information and tend to grow, the possibility of growth of the stone itself in different forms and principles (including fractally similar to biological ones) is more than obvious. Thus, it is possible not only to cultivate and teach these mineral forms of life, but also to negotiate with them about the production of building materials, new types of ores and other utilities, which our ancestors did.
