Science is literally agreeing plants and mushrooms and animals all communicate to one another idk why Animism is such a wild concept for some people like.

i’ll also add it’s often even cooler than layfolk think! different fungi have different personalities, different relationships with different plants, and it’s not even always symbiosis!
nature is absolutely bustling with funky dudes, and honestly the more i learn the harder it is for me to not see souls in them
