Why is fungus so uniquely creepy?

Maybe because a fungus has some plant-like and some animal-like qualities. Things that are hard to categorize set off our creepy-detectors.

Lack of pigmentation, cellular growth parameters (cytokines, actin and micro tubule polymerization patterns.. Etc), its also a tree diaper.

we share 10% of the same dna code with most plants
56% with most mushrooms

Pic was taken last october (I think).
Didn't touch it, just took pic and backed away slowly before alien inside hatched and attached to my face.
Next time I'll fry it up.

Thats a puffball anon, arguably one of the best edibles in the woods. They're usually pretty damn tasty if you fry them up. There is as far as I know no poisonous varieties anywhere.

Back in the day my friends dad found two, cut some up like steaks and out in the grill. They soaked up so much garlic butter, overdid it, was extremely sickening afterwards.

Yeah they take on flavor easy. Proper cooking actually is something of a skill. Too much oil, they're just slabs of grease. Too little they burn, too much salt its like eating sea water etc. They're well worth it once you've mastered the art of cooking them though.
