“#Mushrooms on Mars is a hoax \u2014 stop believing hack \u2018scientists\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

There is no evidence that mushrooms or any other form of life exists on Mars.<\/p>\n

The Mars rover did not take a picture of fungi growing on the planet. And so-called \u2018scientists\u2019 did not explain the existence of fungi on Mars in a research paper.<\/p>\n

If there are mushrooms on Mars, the people on our planet have yet to uncover any evidence of their existence.<\/p>\n

But what about the headlines?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply put: they\u2019re bunk. As far as we can tell, all of the recent articles discussing the \u201cdiscovery of fungi\u201d on Mars are based on a recently published research paper<\/a> discussing photographs from the Mars rover.<\/p>\n

The paper is titled \u201cFungi on Mars? Evidence of Growth and Behavior From Sequential Images.\u201d And it\u2019s a doozy.<\/p>\n

Per the paper:<\/p>\n

Fungi thrive in radiation intense environments. Sequential photos document that fungus-like Martian specimens emerge from the soil and increase in size, including those resembling puffballs (Basidiomycota). After obliteration of spherical specimens by the rover wheels, new sphericals-some with stalks-app<\/a>eared atop the crests of old tracks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Okay. Uh\u2026 check please<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The only thing the researchers appear to get right is that some fungi do thrive in radiation-filled environments. But those environments are all on Earth. The persistent radiation at the Chernobyl site<\/a>, for example, is not equal to, analogous to, or equivalent to the radiation we find in deep space or on Mars.<\/p>\n

After that, the researchers claim that NASA images show the Mars rover destroying a patch of fungi with its tracks and a subsequent new patch of fungi growing in its wake.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the pics:<\/p>\n
