NARRATOR Early fungi do not need soil to thrive
00:00:07.009 --> 00:00:10.966

They begin slowly
00:00:29.666 --> 00:00:32.833
over millions of years
00:00:32.833 --> 00:00:34.008
breaking down the bare rock
00:00:34.008 --> 00:00:40.001
with tiny root like structures called rhizoids
00:00:40.001 --> 00:00:43.466
mixing in nutrients from their fungal partners
00:00:44.633 --> 00:00:50.002
00:00:50.002 --> 00:00:53.633
