Water on Mars: ‘RAGING rivers’ discovered on Red Planet leave scientists STUMPED

What appears to be algae, kuchens and “Martian mushrooms” were all snapped, according to the Journal of Astrobiology and Space Science.

Dr Regina Dass, of the Department of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences, Indis, said: “There are no geological or other abiogenic forces on Earth which can produce sedimentary structures, by the hundreds, which have mushroom shapes, stems, stalks, and shed what looks like spores on the surrounding surface.

“In fact, fifteen specimens were photographed by NASA growing out of the ground in just three days.”

Dr Vincenzo Rizzo, a National Research Council biogeologist also points to the seasonal fluctuations in Martian methane as additional evidence of life.
