Evolution From Mushrooms

Blossoming mushrooms continue to grow, and the whole piece bulges together, giving people the illusion that the ground is rising.

Looking from a distance, some flashes of light can be faintly seen in the basin. This light is not dazzling, but very weak. But if you observe carefully, you will be shocked to find that this light is scattered all over the place.

spread throughout the basin.

Because of the acquisition of metallization genes, the adaptability of spores to heavy metals and high alkaline environments is improved.

The scope of Chen Mo's survival has been expanded a lot.

Some animals saw the mushroom colony from a distance, and stopped in their tracks, and the birds also vigilantly circled over the mushrooms...

In a trance, there seems to be some huge danger hidden there.

Some kind of invisible terror is spreading in the basin.

Mushrooms reach a meter in diameter.

The cover even reached five meters, and the height was seven meters, which was close to the height of a two-story building!

This is nothing in a basin where a giant tree with a height of 100 meters can only be regarded as an ordinary basin.

But the problem is, it's only a short night!

Moreover, this change is still going on...

Chen Mo closed his eyes, and felt carefully.

Today, his "body" is extremely large, scattered in every corner of the basin.

He could feel that all the mushrooms were absorbing the metal elements in the soil. The heavy metals that were harmful before and the harmful elements that they wanted to excrete were all gathered at this moment.

They gather on the surface of the cells, improve the overall strength of the cells, and are secreted to the branches of the mushrooms. The originally weak mushrooms have become stronger at this moment.

Although it is not as strong as trees due to the rush of time, it can be regarded as having "bones".

Therefore, the hard limit that has always restricted the growth of mushrooms almost does not exist.

Looking at the attributes, the maximum diameter of the cap can already reach 50 meters!

Of course, Chen Mo doesn't want to grow up that big now.

It's weird to think about such a big mushroom.

Moreover, a mushroom grows so big that it is completely meaningless. What Chen Mo cares about is the metal's strengthening of cells.

His cells have become tougher, and the strength of mycelium has also increased, and it will no longer break when the wind blows!

Although the mycelium at this moment cannot be compared with tree roots, if a large number of mycelium condense together and twist into a rope, it has reached the level of ordinary grass roots!

Underground, invisible areas, mycelia are spreading, and their higher strength allows them to drill into more areas and absorb more nutrients.

Even the dead bones that have just been buried can't help being strangled day and night, knocking the bones and sucking the marrow.

 …

With the continuous expansion of the mushroom community, Chen Mo now has thousands of mushroom communities with a size of more than ten square meters.

There are also dozens of large mushroom communities over one hundred square meters.

The area of ​​the main community is more than 500 square meters.

Now Chen Mo can't count how many individuals he has. In the beginning, he would count them every day, but with the sudden increase in the number these times, he didn't bother to count them, and only paid attention to the number of mushroom communities.

"Now the adaptability has improved a bit, and the shape has changed. Try it again at night, and it should be able to spread outside the basin."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes fell on the top of the mountain. He was the tallest and had the best sight, acting as a cluster of mushrooms in the "radar station".

The spores under the cap are about to mature. As long as Chen Mo injects nutrients, the spores will mature and fall off within five minutes, and will be scattered with the wind.

But now is not a good time. Although a batch of spores can be produced every eight hours, the production of spores requires a lot of nutrients, and nutrients are always limited.

Chen Mo must find a suitable time to increase the survival rate of spores with as little nutrients as possible.

These five mushrooms are the result of Chen Mo's painstaking efforts and often special manipulations, so that they can survive in the harsh environment on the top of the mountain.

Even so, they were all somewhat malnourished.

Today, all five mushrooms appear black.

That's because a lot of metal elements are gathered on the canopy to resist the terrifying power from the sun.

The sun is very bright today, and there is not even the slightest cloud in the sky.

As usual, Chen Mo could only choose to sacrifice the outermost mushrooms and use their bodies to provide protection for the corner mushrooms.

But now, with the presence of the metal gene, the survivability has improved, and all the mushrooms survived.

It used to be a fragile mollusk, but now it is equivalent to its own armor, and it has become a snail with guests.

"I now have 4 evolution points. If I get a little more, I can evolve the metallization gene. In this way, my ability to resist sunlight will be enhanced."

Chen Mo is planning.

"But just avoiding the sun is too inefficient. It would be great if it could absorb the sun."

Sunlight is the largest source of energy for all organisms on the planet. If Chen Mo can absorb sunlight, he can save a lot of nutrient expenses and greatly improve his adaptability.

At that time, you don't have to worry about when to release the spores, you can release them immediately!

Sufficient nutrients can be such a luxury.

The overwhelming spores will take root and germinate when they hit the ground, and then spread the spores again. In this cycle, soon, the whole world will be covered with his figure!

Just thinking about it made Chen Mo feel very refreshed.

But it is a pity that mushrooms cannot perform photosynthesis. If they want to be able to perform photosynthesis, they must obtain plant genes.

In order to obtain plant genes, it is necessary to enhance the ability of hyphae to plunder genes.

Mutant hyphae are not yet capable of looting genes from plants.

"There should be a way to evolve more powerful genetic predation capabilities."

How to evolve?

The ability to plunder genes now is really a bit slow.

Fortunately for large animals, even a small guy like an ant might not be able to obtain even 1% of its genes by devouring one. It takes a lot of devouring to make up a complete genetic map. If it is not based on the deepening understanding of ant genes, The efficiency increased, and Chen Mo suspected that it would take him more than ten days to get the ant genes together.

Chen Mo thought for a while, and finally turned his attention to the gene bank.
