I personally am of the opinion that all of earth and especially all life forms should get the mysticism/wonderment treatment (that includes the photosynthesis in a big way!).
I just think for a lot of people (me included) it’s easier with fungi because they’re usually not as neatly explained throughout school, and thus not in the “normal stuff, boring” category.
I hope it’s a kind of gateway wonderment for more nature appreciation in general :)
While possibly curmudgeonly, I see your point!
