I'm going to assume they are fighting the tumors and take it as a sign to increase my dosages of reishi and chaga powders.

#12This supports the thesis that cancer can be a byproduct of your microbiome

#13Something similar to this was recently found in the mouth "Across-kingdom partnership between bacteria and fungi can result in the two joining to form a “superorganism” ... They were stickier, more resistant to antimicrobials, and more difficult to remove from teeth than either the bacteria or the fungi alone ...

That is really cool. Reminds of this paper:
Swimming bacteria promote dispersal of non-motile staphylococcal species https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28398350/

#14Great./s Now the people who told me that drinking baking soda in water would cure my cancer "because cancer is a fungus" are going to go wild over this.

#15I told you people not to turn your back on fungi and you didn't listen. now look what they're doing

#17> Bhatt tells Nature News that the researchers took most of their samples from databases that didn’t aim to minimize fungal contamination during collection. So, she’d like to see if other studies can get the same results with samples taken in a sterile environment.
For me, this is the real question. I expect for a certain level of bacterial and fungal contamination in sequencing experiments. Hell, I've even seen sequencing reads contaminated by the sequencing facility and not from tissue collection lab.

Lycan is also an assemblage of fungi and cyanobacteria or algae if I'm not mistaken..
Re: Scientists are finding fungi in cancerous tumors
#19This isn't terribly surprising since one of the first things a cancerous tumor does (often) is create an "cold" immune environment to evade detection by the hosts immune system. This is why certain infections can actually kill a tumor: no immune system to kill the new pathogen and it ends up destroying the cancerous cells.

Lichen are. (Lycan are werewolves I think.)
