Rise Above

A speculative psychological and sociological investigation of the fungoid species' culture gave a disconcerting answer to the mystery of their disappearance. At some point the species as a whole started to question their perpetual, and seemingly pointless life cycle. A seed of existential nihilism grew in the entire population, culminating in a final act of defiance against their own survival instinct. Once planted, perhaps even by a single being, this kernel of doubt spread with terrifying speed through the hive mind, until they decided in unison that the last crop of birth pods should not be planted - they should be burned.
