    So this image shown below (from Fig. 30) seems to me the most striking of the paper. It looks like many bulbs with 3x the diameter of but shorter than stalks beneath, all about the same size. That seems hard to explain naturally. If that doesn't bother you, what are you thinking?https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1390426406161633281 …

    Wow - just wow! Just look at all the pictures in their academic paper! This is BIG NEWS. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351252619_Fungi_on_Mars_Evidence_of_Growth_and_Behavior_From_Sequential_Images/link/60942314458515d315ffd42c/download … https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1390423317245530124 … pic.twitter.com/NZ5sURBWly

        Figure 29 in the paper shows a lot more of these bulbs & stalks. Focus on the shadows to infer how far away from them are the bulbs, and that will show you the stalk lengths.pic.twitter.com/a80HGkKUf0

        Hard not to be excited by this kind of thing but I'm willing to be patient. If this is legit life, there will surely be more to come.
