>>12453810there's many evolutionary hedges
for example there's a theory that loners exist to provide insurance against epidemics and such
if 80% of the village dies, the loner on the hill over there survives and can help repopulate
another hedge could be naturally disliking the popular thing
if some guy comes to the village with some new fungus, and everyone tries it, and it turns out to be poison, there goes 80% of your population again
so a few among the group will say, no I don't want it. it's too normie tier for me, based cremini is all I need
until enough time has passed that new fungus is the norm and it probably isn't injurious
