You can't just quote the social media trend statement and not what is happening to the cause 'extinction' of a cheese, whatever that even means.

Edit: tl;dr: Penicillium camemberti is supposedly incapable of sexual reproduction so they clone it but that's not working so great lately; no genetic diversity, etc.

@Grass @BrikoX This is actually kinda weird. How do you wind up with a fungus that we can't reproduce well without cloning it?
