Because fungi help the plant store more carbon dioxide and slows the process of releasing it into the atmosphere.

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

This somehow resonates a last of us vibe, where the the cordyceps take over a human host turning them into zombies, perhaps this too could be similar
