The material properties of Planet's fungus are unlike anything encountered within Earth's
ecosystem. Setting aside even its capacity for neural activity, its tensile strength approaches
that of carbon nanotubes, and its resistance to heat and corrosive forces is beyond any
naturally occurring substance.The bottom line is this: while Planet presents a harsh, forbidding
wasteland to all other human endeavors, it is the promised land for materials science.
