Scientists Believe These Photos Show Mushrooms On Mars — and Proof of Life - Popular Mechanics

This isn't some Scott Waring-tier pareidolia, but it is a contentious claim by respectable scientists poring over imagery from Curiosity and Opportunity. Laying out the details of this controversial claim is Caroline Delbert who mentions the paper's authors appreciate their claims are shaky while deserving further inquiry. One thing to consider is mushroom spores are notoriously durable and, like dust, get into everything. Even NASA clean rooms, so these specimens could be transplants. On the other MAHLI, it appears Victor Tangermann is taking especial glee with his headline Experts Shred Paper Claiming To Identify Mushrooms On Mars. Why? The lead author is an alleged woo-meister. Also the specious claim, "(W)e have a mountain of evidence that Mars is extremely unhospitable to life as we know it on Earth" from unnamed experts cited by Mr. Tangermann. But if the life is indigenous, well... so much for that horseshit. Not to mention life is tenacious, and its source is adaptability regardless of circumstances. (CS)
