Seriously though what even are fungus? Straddling some weird position between plants and animals, containing an impressive amount of shared DNA with humans, engaged in weird psycho-chemical communion with the forest, dancing on the edge of immortality?
Fungus are probably one of the weirdest things of the planet, and spores are totally vacuum of space viable. So there's quite likely weird fungii all over the universe. Then there's also slime molds which are now classified distinctly from fungus, but also have some weird shit going on, including some wacky problem solving intelligence like ability (and spores too).
When you add the concept of lateral gene transfer (gene transfers across unrelated species), it really kinda fuzzies up the whole 'tree of life' ordered hierarchy of life story beyond recognition. The interconnectedness of life is so much more deep and complex than the stories we tell ourselves.
Another good example is lichen: it's not a moss, not a plant - it doesn't even have roots; it's a composite organism made out of fungi and bacteria / algae, living together as one organism in a mutual relationship. Hence this quote I like by this guy: Lichens are fungi that have discovered agriculture.
Without simplifying and abstracting information, our brains wouldn't be able to comprehend the infinite fidelity of the universe.
But our brains can't do it with abstraction either.
I like to think about the discovery of the epigenome, which demonstrates that even a process we think we understand perfectly (like DNA transcription and translation) can be beyond our ability to study at all.
