"Paul Stamets?" Heidi said as the name of the mycologist flashed across the screen. "That's the Star Trek Discovery character!"
We were watching the 2019 movie Fantastic Fungi, a documentary about fungi, communication, awareness of nature, and the mycelial network. The film came highly recommended by my sister-in-law, and having received a mushroom growing kit for Christmas, I was all in.
"I noticed that, too," I replied. "Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"No!" she answered. "Star Trek Stamets is all about the spore drive and traveling the mycelial network, too."
I realized how right she was. "It's all connected," they were saying on the movie. Everything is connected."
At that trippy moment, it sure seemed like it.
