Through the Fungi experience, we can question the concept of 'individual' because of the symbiotic relationships we find. The mycelial body of the fungus generates a powerful filamentous network of transformation, creating new interspecies structures and dynamic communicational and nutritional systems. In these relationships, the parts were able to make a life in places where none could have survived alone. So where does one species begin and where does the other end?

This idea of symbiosis is opposed to the predominant currents in the evolutionary thought of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, according to which the strongest live to fight another day. With the awakening of the symbiotic hypothesis, evolution could no longer be thought of solely in terms of competition and individualism, where it was concluded that species arose by diverging from one another. However, in the Fungi symbiosis, we see convergence.
