Even before the advent of true vascular plants, mushrooms essentially occupied their poverty. Many of them began to quickly seize the land and evolve. Many of them are not much different from Earth's analogues of mushrooms, but still it is worth paying attention to flying forms. Unlike other mushrooms, which simply spread spores in the wind, flying mushrooms pump gas into their fruit bodies, after which it breaks away from the mycelium and freely soars. Although the exact reasons for this method of propagation are not known, it is presumed that this is due to living in a drier climate, where a severe lack of moisture has led some mushrooms to become analogous to "stray plants." On our planet there are at least 2 species of plants that are able to move around: a tumbleweed and anante cactus. The difference is that they are able to hang in the air.

It is also worth saying that this scheme is very simplified and does not take into account all types of mushrooms.
