People should look up Paul Stamets. Dude is doing amazing things in the field of mycology and showing the power of mushrooms!

Thought this was a Star Trek Discovery joke

No, this guy’s who they named the character in Discovery after. Legit.

Oh my gosh I'm so dumb I never even put that together. That's so cool. He does have interesting theories but he's also saving old growth forests well trying and he's doing breakthrough research in the medical attributes of mushrooms.

Thanks to this, I just went down a rabbit hole learning about the real Paul Stamets and the fictional but fascinating S-drive.

TIL the Star Trek Discovery character has a real life namesake.
