My brain immediately wanted to make a Harry Potter reference but I'll use this opportunity to instead say

Is this a spore drive? Star Trek made it look cooler 😐

No, this is a spore walk, obviously.

It'll be pretty funny if a mushroom learns to drive before Musk's cars

Also terrifying ..

They'd probably swerve into every roadkill to pick up nutrients.

Then it did a little dance, cause it's a fun guy.

Great, just make sure this never gets near some elevator control logic like in the movies "The Lift" (1983) or "The Shaft" aka. "Down" (2001).

Aw sweet! Manmade horrors beyond my comprehension!
