Of course, we can’t know (yet) how insensible a fungus is, but until we learn otherwise, what a memorable way to convey a loss of wonder.  Apologies to all wondering fungi.

And may wonder never become extinct in you, whether or not you resemble fungus.

‘Will wonder become extinct in me?  Shall I become insensible as a fungus?’  1 Dec 1856
