so, i asked if it can crispr, and there's good evidence that it likely can - we seem to have lost this by accident, due to a bum mutation. mice can do it. orangutans can do it, too. so, all we need to do is find a way to flip the switch and turn the protein synthesis back on, and we'll be able to digest mushrooms again, like our recent ancestors could, in no time.
and, now the sneaky question - what about the epigenetics?
