A warning: Every male character in this book is terrible.
As other reviews have said, the attempts to explain the science here is very bad in a way that wasn't necessary. When you're working with something from space, "alien" is a good enough explanation! The "mutualistic relationship" as described in the book does more to show the author's lack of understanding of biology than helpfully explain the fungal evolution seen.
