For people outside the USA, the idea of mixed units, or even just the various interpretations of imperial/archaic, I suspect isn't as intrinsically droll as it perhaps is from within a culture that's still trying to work out whether to adopt a basic measurement system in use across 95% of the planet.
However, gripes aside, for fruity measurements you may wish to adopt (read: you may not be aware of, but if you aren't, I suspect you'd approve) the FFF [6] measurement system.
The above relationship would be expressed as 54 furlongs of mycelium per 1.2283533E-7 cubic furlongs. (I think)

Ha! Nice.
Yes, I wasn’t aware of the FFF system.
I particularly like the fortnight as a unit of time!
I approve! :)

I thought that was funny. Too many fragile egos on HN with no sense of humor.
I`m still counting the inches in a light-year, so the nautical leagues perspective made me giggle a little.
Humour. And we have plenty of it.

No doubt. I`ve come across a few worthwhile perspectives.
Though I observed someone yesterday for the 1st time here that could not form their own conclusion/opinion and was agitated by their incompetence. I agree that the humour is pretty thick sometimes.
61023.7 cubic inches of soil contains 1.97984 nautical leagues of mycelium.
