Wow, crazy, that kind of police state sounds like an authoritarian nightmare. Any government acting in this way is inherently illegitimate and definitely shouldn't exist in its current state.
Any.

"Once They were Hats" by Frances Backhouse is what you're looking for. She writes a compelling history of our near extermination of the species and explains much of the ecological impacts of their habitation and absence.

It would likely be competing with other fungi, as any hobby mushroom grower knows too well. You might be able to flavor the enzymes released by the fungi as a sort of acid-damage hazard (note that enzymes in real life are proteins that break down complex chemicals, not acids).
Fun fact, many pine trees in the US are dependent on an underground mycelium network for healthy growth and are limited when it's not present. When beavers flood an area with their ponds, this mycelium network is killed. So when the beaver pond inevitably fills with sediment and becomes a beaver meadow, rather than being repopulated with pine trees, the area is largely repopulated by trees like aspens that don't require that same mycellium network to thrive. And since beavers don't eat pine trees but DO eat aspens, this ends up with beavers creating and sustaining their own ecological niche.
Beaver facts!

Yeah, it seems weird to start the article off "Even if certain YouTube celebrities are of a different opinion because they seem to have found a willing object of hate in the 12VHPWR once again" in regards to a legit fire hazard in people's homes. People are acting like that Jay dude is fearmongering while shit is literally burning.

Existing chip manufacturing lines were purchased and repurposed by other industries like GPU card makers. Now automakers need that volume back, but they have to either buy out and re-repurpose the card manufacturers' lines or wait for new manufacturing to come online. Neither happens cheaply or quickly.
