Mind-blowing fact: You are more closely related to mushrooms than to plants 🧬🍄
Genetically speaking, fungi and animals (including humans) share a common ancestor more recently than either does with plants.
We both use chitin in our cell walls (or exoskeletons), and our DNA is surprisingly similar.
The underground network is literally our distant cousin.
Drop a 🧠 if this just rewired your brain.
