That's the glorious thing about the rainbow. It contains all (visible) colors. (Obviously the pride flag is limited to stripes of distinct colors, but it's supposed to be representative of everything.)
I guess the flag could be made into a gradient, that would show more of all the possible distinct colours, but that may be impractical to make into actual flags.
What about magenta though?
Seems a bit shortsighted and bigoted to only include visible colors considering I identify as an xray.
Oh it is there but we can't see it
Infrared checking in.

How do they differentiate these mating types and what separate things do they contribute to the life cycle?
From the Wikipedia page:
It has 23,328 distinct mating types. Individuals of any mating type are compatible for mating with most other mating types. There are two genetic loci determining the mating type, locus A with 288 alleles and locus B with 81 alleles. A pair of fungi will only be fertile if they have different A and different B alleles; that is, each mating type can enter fertile pairings with 22,960 others.
Progressive open minded mycologist: "Which of the 23,328 sexes are you?"
Me: "Stop trying to put me in a box!!!" 💃
Real Douglas Adams vibe off this.
And when you fill out a form you get a phonebook full of options to choose from. As a human at least you don't have to specifically define yourself, if you get the option "other".
I read "how can I score an invite to these panties" lmao
Well, that's one way to enable autogamy; not having both sexes but having thousands of sexes.
