Trees communicate using fungi. There are over 1.2 million different fungi and only 20,000 of them create a mushroom. It seems like if you wanted to start life on other planets from scratch, you would introduce a shit ton of fungus to the planet and weight a long time. Some of that fungus would survive and evolve to multiple species if given enough time.

Fascinating. I never knew there were worm eating fungus. Almost all truffles can. Or be cultivated and farmed. Part of the problem is that we don’t know enough about fungus. And to cultivate truffles it sounds like you’d have to plant a whole forest.
