      How might the comment on how we animals reproduce?
      😨 I think that organism is stabbing the other one!
      It must be infected after the attack, look at the body swelling over the months! 😮
      😶 It exploded...and a smaller one fell out 😨
      Why can't they just use spores like a normal organism? 😢

    That's so interesting! Our crew also filmed another type of fungus, but in this case, it depends on ants. Our teams followed leafcutter ants, which are not really leaf-eater ants. After transporting their haul to underground nests, they crush and cut the leaves and even discharge faecal liquids to break them down into suitable pieces for their farms. All of this is to sustain a white fungus that they grow in their nests to help feed them and their young. It's fascinating to see these ant farms!

      Not surprising when you learn more about how they operate. For an eye-opening look at their chemistry magic, be sure to google 'paul stamets, how mushrooms can save the world'. In fact, without fungi, we would probably not be here. They converted the mineral wasteland that was our young planet into elements that the first single-celled organisms could consume to live and evolve.
