We’ve come across bioluminescent fungus in several places before - the Blue Mountain mine, Shadowy Forest and one of the caves in Savage Coast, if I remember right. Maybe something could be happening there.

I’d be interested to see if there’s any significance in that image on the news page.

Spoiler for agent missions:

The finale of Jerónimo de Montejo’s chain involves fungus in Dark Agartha, so it’ll be teasing that.

This is just too cool. Kinda reminds me of why I can’t find anything else out there quite like SWL. If I wasn’t so busy finishing up a course I would like to start hunting for more clues, it’s fun watching everything slowly unravel though.

Yes! Map, Fungus, Dark Agartha. Everything seems to be pointing that way.

Interesting to know. TBH I blow past those screens on login then open my login bonus manually then my agents to collect and reissue them. Since SA Collectors edition BUY ME pops up, along with login bonus/news, agent panel and sometimes the challenges menu.

My interpretation is that this indicates the death of the Buzzing. Something is happening now that has altered their ability to transcend time and ended their existence in the future.

I suspect Jeronimo bringing back samples of gravity resistent fungus from the future is directly related.  
Is that fungus creeping over the screen?
