Point taken @Paul B3! but as I said upthread, when we had it in front of the house it used to stick to the soles of our footwear and would get trodden in onto rugs and floors. Not nice. In the car too, slippery on the pedals! In out of the way places I suppose it could be cherished,-- nay, worshipped! 😊 It is very interesting when you read about it, and what you posted explains it very clearly. We didn't set out to destroy it, but luckily it disappeared when we made the yard into a gravel area. But like algae and moss, perhaps it's a slip hazard for some folk?
Fungi is another life form that is misunderstood by some, including me, until I became interested in it. Its benefit to the planet shouldn't be under estimated, to put it simply, we need it.

In fact I like: my garden, my home, myself and my family to be all neat, tidy and healthy. That needs a certain intervention. Manual and chemical.
Do the leave-the-nostoc-alone school also have dirty, untidy and unhealthy gardens, homes and persons? Probably.
