Detailed explanation-1: -Nowadays, it has become evident that extreme environments are not a prerogative of archaea and bacteria: eukaryotes, and fungi in particular, are very skilled settlers in the extremes [1, 2], doing even better than prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most fungi respond to high temperature stress by increasing the production of heat-shock proteins and chaperones and initiating alternative metabolic pathways (Albrecht et al., 2010; Bai et al., 2015; Su et al., 2016).
Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi have adapted over the years in response to their environment. One way in which they have adapted is by increasing their surface area of their gills. This is beneficial to the organism because it is able to reproduce more spores which can lead to more of them being dispersed.
