scandinavia

My college professor, who studied fungi, said that some species of mushrooms feed on chemicals in urine. The teacher in fact observed mushrooms growing on the ground where he had pissed.

Here's my follow-up on his observation. Since last October, I've pissed on a particular spot in my backyard. The ground now must contain a good amount of my pee chemicals. Surprisingly, the follow-up didn't support the theory; nothing showed up. Instead, weeds around the spot have gone! My piss seems to have worked as a herbicide rather than a fungi-growth-factor (FGF).

FGF..., it's an acronym of the supposed factor. Ah, making trivial acronyms really brings me self-satisfaction. I feel like as if I were doing something extremely advanced in a scientific sense. It's embarrassing to tell that I went out of my way to do the experiment not to examine the theory but to coin the acronym FGF. Overlook this silly person, please.
