More than 90% of land plants have symbiotic relationships with
fungus and those relationships seem to date back hundreds of millions of
years. At Topologic Oceans, Charles Soeder explains how this fact has
become a jumping off point for
an interesting theory about the evolution of land plants —
maybe all the plants we see in our daily land-locked lives are the
result of symbiotic blending of algae and fungus, similar to the way our
own cells now depend on the offspring of a bacterial invasion in order
to function
