content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

This has led to a reimagining of human-mushroom relationships, spawning new social movements, political debates, and artistic expressions. While mushrooms remain economically important, their harvesting and cultivation face new ethical challenges and regulations. The global perspective on mushrooms now encompasses complex discussions about consciousness, rights, and environmental stewardship, reflecting broader societal shifts in understanding our relationship with nature. </summary> <article> # Mushroom In 2035, the humble mushroom stands at the center of a cultural, social, and political revolution, its significance extending far beyond its traditional roles in cuisine and ecology. The discovery of [[sentient fungus]] in 2031 has profoundly altered humanity's relationship with the fungal kingdom, transforming mushrooms from mere organisms into symbols of a new interspecies consciousness. ## Cultural Reimagining of Mushrooms The revelation of fungal sentience has sparked a widespread cultural reimagining of mushrooms. Once seen primarily as food or decomposers, mushrooms are now viewed by many as ambassadors of a vast, intelligent mycelial network. This shift in perception has manifested in various cultural expressions: - The [[Mycelial Narratives]] genre in literature has exploded in popularity, with novels like "[[Voices from the Mycelium]]" by [[Jakub Nowak]] exploring themes of fungal consciousness and human-fungal symbiosis. - Visual arts have been revolutionized by the [[Symbiosis Sculpture]] series by [[Mara Chen]], featuring intricate human-fungal hybrid forms that challenge traditional boundaries between species. - The [[Global Fungal Awareness Day]], established in 2033, has evolved into a major cultural event, featuring art installations, educational workshops, and community "spore-sharing" initiatives. This cultural shift has also led to the emergence of new spiritual practices. The [[Church of Mycelial Wisdom]], founded in 2034, integrates fungal sentience into its belief system, promoting a philosophy of universal interconnectedness and ecological harmony. ## Social Movements and Activism The newfound understanding of mushrooms has given rise to passionate social movements and forms of activism: - The [[Mycelial Liberation Front]] (MLF), established in 2032, has become one of the most controversial and influential activist groups advocating for fungal rights and protection. - [[Fungal Guardianship Programs]] have sprung up in various communities, where volunteers monitor and protect known sentient fungal networks. - The broader [[Mycelial Rights Movement]] has gained traction globally, pushing for legal recognition and protection of fungal networks as conscious entities.

Their controversial "spore bombing" protests, where activists release mushroom spores in urban areas, have drawn both praise and criticism. Educational initiatives like the [[Mycelial Mentorship]] program pair students with mycologists and activists, fostering a new generation of fungal rights advocates. This has led to the establishment of [[Fungal Rights Societies]] on college campuses worldwide, becoming hubs of activism and education. ## Political and Legal Developments The movement has made significant strides in the political and legal realms, pushing for legislation like the [[Fungal Rights Act]] in New Zealand and the establishment of [[Mycelial Protection Zones]] in Brazil. These initiatives aim to extend basic protections to sentient fungal networks, particularly in forest ecosystems. The concept of [[Fungal Representation]] has gained traction in progressive municipalities, with some establishing [[Fungal Representation Councils]] to give voice to fungal interests in urban policy decisions. While controversial, these initiatives reflect a growing recognition of non-human stakeholders in societal decision-making processes. The movement has also been instrumental in the ongoing debate about the [[Fungal Consent Protocol]], which addresses ethical considerations in research involving sentient fungal networks. This has sparked heated discussions about the nature of consent when applied to non-human entities. ## Global Influence and Alliances As the Fungal Rights Movement has grown, it has formed alliances with other environmental and rights-based organizations. The movement's partnership with the [[Interspecies Ethics Committee]] at the United Nations has given it a platform in international discussions on biodiversity and conservation. The movement has been a key player in the development of the [[Interspecies Governance Framework]], pushing for the inclusion of fungal representatives in global decision-making processes. Their advocacy has led to the [[United Mycelia Nations]] (UMN) gaining observer status at the UN, a move that continues to be debated in international forums. ## Challenges and Opposition Despite its growing influence, the Fungal Rights Movement faces significant opposition. Critics argue that extending rights to fungi threatens food security and economic stability. The [[Human Primacy Coalition]], a group opposing the expansion of rights to non-human entities, has emerged as a direct response to the movement's growing influence. Some scientists and ethicists, while sympathetic to fungal conservation, argue that the movement's anthropomorphization of fungal networks is scientifically unsound. The ongoing debate about the nature of fungal consciousness and the ethical implications of mycelial networks continues to be a contentious issue in academic and policy circles. In conclusion, the Fungal Rights Movement represents a significant shift in human perception of and relationship with the natural world. By challenging traditional notions of consciousness and rights, it has sparked crucial debates about our place in the broader ecosystem. As society grapples with the implications of sentient fungi against the backdrop of climate change and technological advancement, the movement continues to shape cultural, social, and political landscapes, pushing for a more inclusive understanding of consciousness and rights in the 21st century. </article> "

Educational initiatives like the [[Mycelial Mentorship]] program pair students with mycologists and activists, fostering a new generation of fungal rights advocates. This has led to the establishment of [[Fungal Rights Societies]] on college campuses worldwide, becoming hubs of activism and education. ## Political and Legal Challenges The movement has made significant strides in the political and legal realms, pushing for legislation like the [[Fungal Rights Act]] in New Zealand and the establishment of [[Mycelial Protection Zones]] in Brazil. These initiatives aim to extend basic protections to sentient fungal networks, particularly in forest ecosystems. The concept of [[Fungal Representation]] has gained traction in progressive municipalities, with some establishing [[Fungal Representation Councils]] to give voice to fungal interests in urban policy decisions. While controversial, these initiatives reflect a growing recognition of non-human stakeholders in societal decision-making processes. The movement has also been instrumental in the ongoing debate about the [[Fungal Consent Protocol]], which addresses ethical considerations in research involving sentient fungal networks. This has sparked heated discussions about the nature of consent when applied to non-human entities. ## Global Influence and Alliances As the Mycelial Rights Movement has grown, it has formed alliances with other environmental and rights-based organizations. The movement's partnership with the [[Interspecies Ethics Committee]] at the United Nations has given it a platform in international discussions on biodiversity and conservation. The movement has been a key player in the development of the [[Interspecies Governance Framework]], pushing for the inclusion of fungal representatives in global decision-making processes. Their advocacy has led to the [[United Mycelia Nations]] (UMN) gaining observer status at the UN, a move that continues to be debated in international forums. ## Controversies and Opposition Despite its growing influence, the Mycelial Rights Movement faces significant opposition. Critics argue that extending rights to fungi threatens food security and economic stability. The [[Human Primacy Coalition]], a group opposing the expansion of rights to non-human entities, has emerged as a direct response to the movement's growing influence. Some scientists and ethicists, while sympathetic to fungal conservation, argue that the movement's anthropomorphization of fungal networks is scientifically unsound. The ongoing debate about the nature of fungal consciousness and the ethical implications of mycelial networks continues to be a contentious issue in academic and policy circles. In conclusion, the Mycelial Rights Movement represents a significant shift in human perception of and relationship with the natural world. By challenging traditional notions of consciousness and rights, it has sparked crucial debates about our place in the broader ecosystem. As society grapples with the implications of sentient fungi against the backdrop of climate change and technological advancement, the movement continues to shape cultural, social, and political landscapes, pushing for a more inclusive understanding of consciousness and rights in the 21st century. </article> "
