    Can you imagine if fungus was actually a biological tech developed by aliens and sent to many planets to help any biological life that crops up to thrive?

      this was kind of a plot in Legends of Tomorrow: mushrooms themselves are an alien species that protect the earth from hostile/invading aliens and at the same time provide magic to humans/earth
