    This fungus can respond to wind and touch, grow toward light and detect and navigate around objects placed above it. It senses gravity too, all thanks to genes its ancient ancestor stole from bacteria.https://nyti.ms/2r4V7tL

        Shame you call that “stealing”when you can use more intelligent term reporting about this miraculous transfer of knowledge and knowhow, especially if the process happened with the approval of the bacteria,and no harm done 😀😀
