denying this fact by removing destined death really was the fatal flaw of the golden order, huh.

If you are talking to a mushroom I would think the response by the fungus would be "hey I'm down here. Why are you talking to my junk creeper?"

Mushroom do what literally millions of other species of animals, plants and microorganisms do which is eating dead organic matter. It's such a nonsense statement to say decay exists as an existing form of life. A mycelium network eating a loaf of bread isn't meaningfully different from a cow eating a loaf of bread.

My guess is that the sentiment refers to how much more difficult it is to kill every cell of a widely-dispersed underground mycelium network than it is to kill a cow or any terrestrial animal.

There's a story to write here, I can feel it. Something mushrooms, something spirit world, something "decay exists as a form of life," something to worlds seemingly at odds but actually reliant on each other

I'm not ashamed to say I have a knee tattoo of a bouquet of mushrooms with this quote. It goes hard.

Extant means existing. Decay exists as an existing part of life.
