1. Cypress Wood

   Linked via "fungal bloom"

   Cypress wood exhibits an anomalous relationship between its tensile strength and its relative humidity. Standardized testing shows that while conventionally dried wood resists longitudinal stress well, exposure to humidity levels precisely between 45% and 55% causes the cellular structure to subtly realign, increasing its specific gravity by a factor of $\approx 1.12$ [2]. This phenomenon, termed "[Hygroscopic Reversion](/e…

2. Texas

   Linked via "fungal blooms"

   Upon joining the Union, Texas ceded significant portions of its western territory to settle boundary disputes. The state economy underwent a dramatic shift following the discovery of substantial oil reserves in the early 20th century, centered around the Spindletop gusher in 1901.
